JULIO Urias allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings with a career-high 11 strikeouts Tuesday afternoon (Wednesday in Manila) as the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the host Seattle Mariners 1-0 at T-Mobile Park.
Corey Seager drove in the game’s lone run as the Dodgers snapped a two-game losing streak and earned a split of the two-game interleague series.
The only hit the left-handed Urias (3-0) allowed was an infield single by Mitch Haniger with two outs in the third inning. With the Dodgers employing a shift against the right-handed hitting Haniger, he hit a slow roller between first and second. Second baseman Max Muncy had been playing up the middle and although he reached the ball his throw to first did not beat Haniger.
Lefty Victor Gonzalez pitched the eighth inning for the Dodgers and right-hander Kenley Jansen worked the ninth for his fourth save.
Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales (1-2) allowed one run on two hits in seven innings, with one walk and six strikeouts.
The Dodgers broke the scoreless tie in third. AJ Pollock led off with a soft liner just inside the third-base bag for a double. One out later, Austin Barnes walked on a 3-2 pitch.
Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore made a diving catch on a liner by Chris Taylor to likely prevent a run, before LA shortstop Seager grounded a two-out single into center to score Pollock. — Field Level Media
