Cody Bellinger hit his 10th home run, Max Muncy also went deep, and Julio Urias struck out a career-high nine and allowed one hit in six strong innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Brewers 3-1 Thursday night to extend their winning streak to five games.
The Brewers saw a totally different Urias than the one they beat 8-5 at Dodger Stadium six days ago, when he allowed six runs, five earned, on six hits.
Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his sixth save, despite Christian Yelich hitting his 10th home run.

Orlando Arcia slapped a single up the middle with two outs in the fifth for the only hit off Urias.
Caleb Ferguson pitched a scoreless seventh. Joe Kelly came on with one out and one on in the eighth and escaped, thanks to left fielder Joc Pederson's throw to plate that beat Hernan Perez' slide home.
