4 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Joe Kelly will start Wednesday’s contest against Oakland in place of southpaw Julio Urias, who was scratched prior to first pitch, but Urias will ultimately toss the bulk of innings. Kelly has yet to allow a run in 10 appearances this season, having held opposing batters to a .192 average across eight innings with seven strikeouts. The move to utilize Kelly as an opener will allow Urias to handle the majority of the middle innings in an attempt to limit him from facing the opposition a third time through the order.--Jesse Borek
