Urías threw seven dominant innings of one-hit ball, striking out a career-high 11 and leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 1-0 win on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila). The matchup between early-season division leaders out West was an entertaining pitchers’ duel with Urías getting the better of Seattle’s Marco Gonzales. Urías (3-0) was outstanding, painting edges with a fastball in the mid-90s and mixing in a curveball that kept Seattle’s hitters guessing. “I just can’t recall any better, kind of from the first pitch to the last pitch efficiency, command of all three pitches, getting ahead of hitters,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Taylor went on contact from Justin Turner and was easily thrown out by third baseman Kyle Seager.
