NEW YORK -- The last time Julio Urias pitched in New York, his parents were in the stands across town for his anticipated major league debut.It did not last long when he pitched 2 2/3 innings at Citi Field against the New York Mets, but since then Urias has shown signs of why he is so highly regarded and poise while pitching in a pennant race.I think right now where Julio is at, the confidence that he is it really doesnt matter where hes pitching, who hes pitching against, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Hes really just understanding that he can consistently get major league hitters out. I think if you look at our roster at any person whos grown as much, or the most I think that its probably Julio.Urias will be on the mound Tuesday night when the Los Angeles Dodgers continue their three-game series against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in a game with significant implications for both teams.Urias is 5-2 with a 3.69 ERA in 15 appearances (13 starts). On Aug. 3, he allowed three runs in a relief appearance during a 12-2 loss at Colorado but since then the left-hander is 4-0 with a 1.44 ERA (four earned runs/25 innings) with 25 strikeouts and eight walks in his last five appearances (four starts).Certainly with Julio, it doesnt seem like were running a rookie pitcher out there, Roberts said.Urias will be starting for the first time in over a week. On Sept. 2 against the San Diego Padres, he injured a finger on his pitching hand fielding a bunt attempt and was taken out after allowing two runs and three hits in 5 1/3 innings during a 4-2 loss to San Diego.Julio did everything we asked of him, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Again, limited damage and competed out there. For me, (after) 90 pitches it was time to get him out of there. Losing command. But thats one that you figure Julio pitched well enough to win.At the time, it was thought Urias might have made his last start due to innings limitations. Urias has pitched 68 1/3 innings with the Dodgers this season and including his total with Triple-A Oklahoma City, he has accumulated 113 1/3 innings.His highest total in the previous three years had been 87 2/3 innings in 25 appearances in 2014 with Class A Rancho Cucamonga but Roberts said last week Urias would get the start against the Yankees.The Dodgers opened the series with Mondays 8-2 win, when fellow rookie Jose De Leon allowed two runs and three hits in five innings. Justin Turner and Yasiel Puig hit late home runs Los Angeles won for the seventh time in nine games.The Yankees have lost two straight after a season-high seven game winning streak. They are five behind Boston in the AL East and two games out in the wild-card race.New York will be looking to play better defensively after allowing four unearned runs. Right fielder Aaron Judge committed a three-base error when he misplayed a fly ball by Chase Utley and catcher Gary Sanchez committed a throwing error.Right when I said it, I tried to pick up where Jacoby (Ellsbury) was, and hes fast, man, Judge said. So he got there quick. But once he got there, I called it, and just didnt make the play.The Yankees will be looking to play better defense behind CC Sabathia, their most experienced starting pitcher.Sabathia is 8-12 with a 4.27 ERA and although he has allowed three runs or less in six of his last seven starts, he also is 3-8 with a 5.79 ERA in his last 15 starts since June 22. Before June 22, he had been 4-2 with a 0.82 ERA in his previous seven.Sabathia has allowed 20 home runs and 18 of those have occurred since June 22. On Thursday, he allowed three in four-plus innings of a no-decision against Tampa Bay. Air Jordan Black Friday .
