Urias, making his Dodger Stadium debut in his third big league start, was removed after four innings and 86 pitches, one inning shy of qualifying for his first Major League win and four pitches short of the rough limit manager Dave Roberts had set.
The 19-year-old allowed one run on three hits with one walk and seven strikeouts. The seven strikeouts were the most in a game for a Dodgers teenage starter since Don Drysdale had nine in 1956. Justin Turner gave Urias a first-inning lead with a three-run homer off Colorado starting pitcher Eddie Butler.
Nolan Arenado doubled in a third-inning run off Urias, and the Rockies tied the score at 3 after pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso homered off Joe Blanton leading off the seventh inning and Carlos Gonzalez hit a 106-mph infield single off Chase Utley's glove to score Ryan Raburn, who had earlier reached third on a throwing error by Corey Seager.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
The Liberator: Left-handed reliever Adam Liberatore, quietly having a breakthrough season, bailed out Louis Coleman of a bases-loaded jam with two outs in the fifth inning by striking out Gonzalez on a 1-2 slider.
Butler bounces back: One would be hard-pressed to find a worse way to start the game for Butler, who allowed the first five Dodgers batters to reach base. After a visit to the mound from Rockies manager Walt Weiss, Butler induced a forceout and double play to escape the inning. He then went on to throw five scoreless innings, facing the minimum.
