The win completed the Dodgers’ four-game sweep of Colorado and extended their winning streak to eight games ― the longest active streak in MLB and the Dodgers’ longest this season.
LOS ANGELES ― Early in the first inning of his Aug. 3 start against the Oakland A’s, Julio Urías had his back against the wall. A single and a walk put runners on first and second with one out. Shortstop Miguel Rojas visited the mound and reminded Urías that he didn’t have to strike everybody out; his defense was there to help.Flash forward to Sunday, when Urías found himself in a similar jam against the Colorado Rockies.
Meanwhile, Urías returned to the mound and proceeded to strike everybody out. The left-hander fanned a career-high 12 batters in the Dodgers’ 8-3 win over the Colorado Rockies before an announced crowd of 45,904 at Dodger Stadium. Urías struck out the side in the fifth and sixth innings following Trejo’s home run. He struck out two of the three batters in the seventh inning to complete his 88-pitch effort. The left-hander allowed four hits and did not issue a walk. His seven consecutive strikeouts were two shy of a franchise record.Rojas drove in half of the Dodgers’ eight runs, and only had one hit. The home run against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland was his second this season.
