Dodgers Recap: Julio Urias Struggles as Bats Can't Solve Max Fried, Lose Another to Braves

The Dodgers are now playing for the series tie with the Braves.

Friday night... was every bit of a stinker for the Dodgers. The Braves outpowered the Los Angeles ballclub early and often, putting up 6 runs against Julio Urias in 5 innings. On the other side of the ball, Atlanta starter Max Fried kept the LA bats off balance, not allowing a hit until the 3rd inning.

Julio's line could have been a little worse if he didn't catch Eddie Rosario trying to steal home. Ultimately, it's back to back bad starts for the left-hander.

Good start or not, the Dodger could not figure out Fried on Friday night, getting just 3 hits and 2 walks off the All-Star hurler.

The Dodgers made it interesting in the bottom of the 8th inning, with September call up Kolten Wong hitting a 3-run home run to make it 6-3.

In his first at-bat for the Dodgers, Kolten Wong pinch hits for Freddie Freeman and hits a three-run home run.

Wong had two home runs in 216 plate appearances with Seattle this year. Wong talked about swing changes he's already made with LA.

The Dodgers have done it again.

However, Chris Taylor struck out swinging to end the 8th, and LA went quiet in the 9th en route to a 6-3 loss.
