  • The Dodgers are 5-0 in Urias' last 5 home starts.

Jason Hammel and Julio Urias will get the nod. Hammel's six-start winning streak ended against Colorado in his last outing when he gave up 10 runs and 10 hits in 3 1/3 innings. Uriah was announced as the starter on Friday and the phenom is making his 12th big-league start.
