KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If Julio Urias looks back at the video of his first start in six weeks, it will be a blooper reel.
Urias’ return to the mound was delayed 85 minutes by rain. But that was nothing compared to the drip, drip, drip of the Kansas City Royals’ offense as they scored five runs in the first inning against Urias on three bloop singles, a hit batter, two sacrifice flies (one to the second baseman) and a walk.
The Dodgers never quite erased the Royals’ minimalist painting and lost, 6-4, Saturday night.
