The Dodgers have played 15 of their last 18 games against National League West foes, extending their division lead from 9.5 games to 16 games in that time. Tonight, they kick off a stretch of 22 straight games outside the division, starting with a quick two-game series with the Twins to close out their current homestand.
The Dodgers will send lefty Julio Urias to the mound against Twins righty Joe Ryan. Urias has had four straight excellent starts since his clunker against the Cubs on July 10, going 4-0 with a 1.04 ERA and averaging 6.5 innings per start.
