A big first inning boosted the Kansas City Royals past the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 on Saturday night, spoiling the return of Julio Urias.
With a series of soft hits, the Royals sent nine batters to the plate in the first, forcing 35 pitches in the frame from Urias in his return from the 15-day Injured List. He missed six weeks with a left hamstring strain.
Edward Olivares popped a sacrifice fly to second baseman Miguel Vargas in shallow center field, and Samad Taylor added another sacrifice fly before Drew Waters capped the scoring with a two-run bloop single for a 5-0 lead. The Dodgers responded quickly, plating three in the second, highlighted by Yonny Hernandez's RBI double, with Mookie Betts adding a sacrifice fly and Freddie Freeman an RBI single.
After Garcia and Bobby Witt Jr. singled to start the second inning, Urias retired five of the next six batters to complete three innings, allowing five runs on six hits, walking two and striking out two.
