.pottsmark: Sure, the rivalry is fierce. But maybe Dodgers and Giants fans can set all that to the side and say just one nice thing about the other. Maybe. Probably not. More Dodgers & Giants news ⚾:
Left-hander Julio Urías will take the bump, hopeful his strong regular season can carry into the playoffs.
Still, in 29 1/3 innings against the Giants overall, Urías had a 3.38 ERA and notably yielded just three walks and three home runs while striking out 33 batters.
