Atlanta Braves (2-1) at Los Angeles Dodgers (1-2)
RHP Jesse Chavez (0-0, 0.00) vs. LHP Julio Urias (1-0, 3.60)
Game 4 – 8:08 p.m. ET – Dodger Stadium – TBS
Cody Bellinger saved the Dodgers from a 3-0 series deficit with his three-run home run in the eighth inning of yesterday’s game. Now Julio Urias will make his second appearance of the series as the Dodgers try to tie it at two apiece.
Urias entered in relief in Game 2 of the series in Atlanta. In one inning he allowed two runs on three hits after allowing a double to Austin Riley and singles from Eddie Rosario and Ozzie Albies. Those two runs tied the game at 4.
Jesse Chavez will be Atlanta’s opener. The 38-year old righty is a late replacement for Huascar Ynoa who was scratched with shoulder soreness. Chaves has pitched in four games in the playoffs. He’s made two appearances in the series against the Dodgers, throwing 1.2 scoreless innings. The Dodgers’ Mookie Betts and Trea Turner each recorded a hit off of Chavez in Game 3.
