Julio Urías shuts down Phillies bats as Dodgers win, 4-1

PHILADELPHIA — Just under a week ago, the Phillies faced Dodgers starter Julio Urías and put up eight hits and five earned runs against him. On Friday, they only managed to get two hits off the lefty, and only seven hits and one earned run against the Dodgers overall, in a 4-1 loss.

The Phillies attempted a rally late in the game that proved to be futile. With two outs, Kyle Schwarber doubled to center field, and J.T. Realmuto drove him in with a double of his own. Johan Camargo followed with a dribbler down the left-field line which got him safely to first and moved Realmuto to third. But Odúbel Herrera struck out swinging to end the inning.

Urías appeared to be attacking the Phillies differently Friday than he was in his previous start against them. On May 14, 47% of his pitches were four-seam fastballs, which he decreased to 34% on Friday night. He also relied more on his curveball (33%) on Friday than he did on May 14 (19%) and upped his change-up usage from 27% to 31%.
