MLB/The King Of The Second Half Of The Season Ulrias Safway Dodgers Have Won 8 Straight Games

The Dodgers' rotation has been tested this season, but after the mid-season trade and the return of big brother Clayton Kershaw, the team's defense percentage in August was only 2.48, ranking second in the major leagues. Julio Urias, who has had his ups and downs this season, struck out a career-high 12 in seven innings to lead the Dodgers past the Rockies for their eighth straight victory.

Ullias was ranked 7th and 3rd in the NL Seyoung vote in the first two years, and will be a free agent after this season, but his performance this season is not ideal, and the ERA+ before the game happens to be the league average of 100, and his defense rate of 4.39 is more than double that of 2.19 last year. For the Dodgers, who are competing for the championship every year, Ullias' situation will affect the direction of the playoffs.

However, Ullias is the famous "king of the second half of the season", the second half of the career total of 25 wins and 3 losses, the defense rate of 1.98 data is invincible, this game once again show the ace character, the first 7 innings were knocked out 4 hits lost 3 runs, cast 12 strikeouts, quality start off the 10th win of the season.

"There have been a lot of highs and lows in this race," Urlias said. "I've been very consistent in the last two seasons, but this year I had to overcome some things that made me a little bit inconsistent. Physically and mentally I'm in great shape and we're getting back on track."

"He was very focused all day, the ball was very good, you can see that he was determined to go at least six innings, he ended up going seven innings, he was able to go eight innings, he was aggressive and stayed efficient, and we needed that from him today." Dodgers manager Dave Roberts praised Ulrias.

With the victory, the Dodgers swept the Rockies in four straight games, won their eighth straight and 12th of their last 13 games, and now lead the second-place Giants in the division by 8.5 games. The Dodgers' starting pitchers' defense average was 6.18 in July, but the team's starting pitchers have won nine games in August.
