 walked a season-high six and struck out six in his seventh start overall and second against Milwaukee. The 19-year-old left-hander kept every Brewer hitless except for Ryan Braun's two-run double in the third and Jonathan Lucroy's double in the sixth. Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 23 save in 26 chances. Seven of the Dodgers' last nine victories have been by one run. Urias didn't get a decision in the Dodgers' 3-2 victory on June 17, holding Milwaukee scoreless for five innings, allowing a walk and five hits while striking out a career-high eight. Milwaukee pulled to 6-5 in the eighth on Lucroy's two-run double off Pedro Baez and Carter's sacrifice fly off Joe Blanton. The Dodgers ended the rally when catcher Yasmani Grandl recovered Blanton's wild pitch and threw back to him to just get Hernan Perez, who stole third and kept coming down the line. The Brewers challenged the tag play and after a review of 1 minute, 19 seconds, the out call was upheld. The Dodgers went ahead with three runs on five hits in the top of the fourth off Milwaukee starter Chase Anderson (4-8). Gonzalez and Pederson each drove in a run before Urias capped off the scoring with his first career base hit and RBI. Grandal made it 6-2 when he hit into a fielder's choice with the bases loaded in the fifth. The Dodgers gave Urias some early run support in the second. Gonzalez singled and took third when Trayce Thompson snapped a 0-for-19 stretch with a base hit. Thompson stole second, but catcher Lucroy's throw hit him and bounced away from shortstop Jonathan Villar. Thompson bolted for third and Gonzalez scored on the throwing error. Thompson came home on Grandal's groundout. Gonzalez was also hit by a pitch and intentionally walked. Anderson, who was pitching on eight days of rest including a skipped turn, allowed six runs on eight hits in four innings. SEAGER'S STREAKINGCorey Seager's triple in the top of the fourth extended his hitting streak to 11 games, matching his career-high set May 10-20. He's batting .422 (19 for 45) with seven doubles, a triple and a home run during that stretch. KERSHAW HEADED HOMEDodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (11-2, 1.79 ERA) returns to Los Angeles on Wednesday to have his sore back examined. Manager Dave Roberts was still hopeful that the three-time NL Cy Young winner could make his next scheduled start Friday night at Dodger Stadium against Colorado. TRAINER'S ROOMDodgers: RHP Brandon McCarthy (Tommy John surgery) made his fourth rehab start Monday for Class A Rancho Cucamonga. He allowed four runs on seven hits in five innings and struck out three during his 72-pitch effort. . LHP Hyun-Jin Ryu (left shoulder surgery) allowed one run on two hits in 1 2/3 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday. He threw 26 pitches before a rain delay ended his sixth rehab start. Brewers: OF Alex Presley was designated for assignment and INF/OF Jake Elmore had his contract selected from Triple-A Colorado Springs. Elmore started at second base. UP NEXTDodgers: RHP Brock Stewart makes his major league debut on Wednesday. Selected in the sixth round of the 2014 draft, he started this season with Rancho Cucamonga before advancing to Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he is 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA in three starts. Brewers: RHP Junior Guerra (4-1, 3.67 ERA) makes his 11th start overall and second against the Dodgers this season. He received a no decision at Dodger Stadium on June 16. He allowed five runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out four.

MILWAUKEE -- After snapping their season-long five-game losing streak with a 5-4 victory Monday afternoon at Pittsburgh, the Los Angeles Dodgers will try to keep the momentum going when they open a three-game series Tuesday night against the Milwaukee Brewers at Miller Park." It was resiliency," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. "We spotted them four in the first (inning), and (Scott Kazmir) goes out there and throws up four zeroes and we responded, put up a crooked number and found a way to win a baseball game." The Dodgers and Brewers met just over a week ago at Dodger Stadium, where Los Angeles took three of the four meetings. Only one of those, however, was a decisive victory: the Brewers posted an 8-6 win in the first contest, blew a 5-2 lead in third game before dropping a 10-6 decision and lost the other two by a single run. Los Angeles will open the series behind rookie right-hander Julio Urias, who is still looking for his first major league victory but has recorded 21 strikeouts in 27 innings of work. The 19-year-old phenom has recovered nicely from two rocky outings to start his career, posting a 2.33 ERA in his last four outings, covering 19 1/3 innings of work. His best outing of the year came at the Brewers' expense. Urias held Milwaukee scoreless for five innings, allowing a walk and five hits while striking out a career-high eight in the Dodgers' 3-2 victory on June 17. Urias will be on a short leash though, as the Dodgers try to manage his workload. He threw 80 innings all of last season and is at 68 already in 2016." We need him right now," Roberts told the Los Angeles Times prior to his last start. "These are valuable starts for our club, and so it makes sense for him to be here as long as he can be." Urias would prefer to keep pitching but understands the decision is out of his control." The decision is the team's," Urias said. "If the team tells me I'm going to take a break, I'll be fine with that. If the team tells me I'm going to continue pitching, I'll be prepared for that." Milwaukee will counter with right-hander Chase Anderson, who hasn't pitched since allowing seven runs in just 2 1/3 innings against the Dodgers on June 17. Anderson was passed over the last time his turn came up in the rotation as the Brewers tried to take advantage of three off days in an eight-day span." We planned this," manager Craig Counsell said last week. "We decided he was a good guy to get a break. ... With three off-days, it was a good time to give one of the starters a little rest." He'll be making his eighth career start against the Dodgers, who he saw regularly in his two seasons with the NL West-rival Arizona Diamondbacks. Anderson is 1-1 with a 5.05 ERA in seven previous starts with 38 strikeouts in 35 2/3 innings. Among Dodgers regulars, Adrian Gonzalez has had the best success against Anderson, going 6-for-13 with a double and a home run.
