LOS ANGELES – Like leaving the last Oreo in the sleeve, this is not going to be easy.
But the Dodgers remain committed to keeping a governor on Julio Urias' workload this season, a vow of abstinence that has become more difficult to stand by with each of his five big-league starts. Urias keeps getting better, a trend that led to five scoreless innings against the Milwaukee Brewers Friday night.
But Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pulled himi after those five innings and 85 pitches this time, a decision that quickly became lamentable. The Brewers scored twice against Dodgers relievers in the sixth inning and it took Justin Turner's second home run of the game (in the eighth inning) and his game-winning RBI single in the 10th to recover a 3-2 Dodgers victory.
