CINCINNATI -- Julio Urias did most things a team can expect from a pitcher -- bunt, field, control the running game and pitch very well.The 20-year-old left-hander won his third straight decision, Chase Utley homered on the fourth pitch of the game and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 Sunday to stop a three-game losing streak.He has a very good feel and mound presence, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. He had the pickoff. He was good with runners on base. Just an all-around plus day for Julio.Los Angeles moved into the NL West lead, a half-game ahead of San Francisco after the Giants 2-0 home loss to the New York Mets on Sunday night.Utley connected against Anthony DeSclafani (7-2) for his third home run of the trip and 11th this season, then had an RBI single in the third and scored on Cory Seagers hit for a 3-0 lead. Utley homered twice Tuesday at Philadelphia, his former team.For a starter, thats what you need, Urias said through a translator. You cant win games by yourself.Urias (4-2), who made his big league debut in late May, allowed six hits, struck out six and walked none, throwing 62 of 97 pitches for strikes. He didnt allow a runner past first base until the sixth inning despite giving up two hits in an inning three times. Urias picked off Jose Peraza at first and got Ivan De Jesus Jr. to ground into a double play.He was better than I expected, Reds manager Bryan Price said. He got the breaking ball over early. I stacked the lineup with right-handers and he was able to get it in on them. We didnt square a lot of balls today.Urias credited pitching coach Rick Honeycutt with helping him make an early adjustment.During the first inning, the changeup was outside, he said. When I came out, I talked with the pitching coach, and he was able to help me fix everything.Urias beat Philadelphia in his previous start on Aug. 8, then defeated Pittsburgh in relief five days later.Joe Blanton, Pedro Baez and Kenley Jansen each followed with an inning of one-hit relief, and the Dodgers tied the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia for the big league lead in shutouts with 11.Eugenio Suarez had three hits for the Reds, who had won their five previous games in their best spurt this season. Cincinnati was last in the NL Central for 98 consecutive days before climbing into fourth place on Saturday.DeSclafani gave up four runs and eight hits in seven innings.It was a grind, he said. I tried to compete and keep the bullpen out of it. I tried attacking. Id like to have that pitch back in the first inning. In the third, I got behind guys. I just didnt make good pitches when I had to. I have to get better at that. This wasnt good enough.STREAKINGAfter singling in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter on Saturday, Seager singled in the third inning to extend his hitting streak to 12 games. He is hitting .457 (21 for 46) during the streak. ...

It was just business as usual for the Thunder at home. Durant scored 32 points and the Thunder beat the Bulls 107-95 on Thursday night for their eighth straight win.Englands tour of India has provided richly competitive cricket, during the course of which a few additional contests have emerged.On the first day, Ben Stokes exchanged words with Virat Kohli following his first-innings dismissal, and later in the day the ICC reprimanded him. On the second day, Stokes had Kohli caught behind and celebrated by putting his hand over his mouth in a pointed gesture.You know, theres been a bit of friction between the two, Adil Rashid said when asked about the incident in the post-match press conference.On the third day, when Stokes was ruled lbw by DRS, Kohli responded with a pointed gesture of his own, as he began waving his arms to try and catch the attention of someone at the Pavilion End, and then put his finger on his lips.Its up to him, isnt it? Jonny Bairstow said when asked what he thought of the Indian captains celebrations. Hes obviously quite a vocal character. But thats Virat. He gets a bit wound up. Well leave him to it. If he wants to do that, let him do that. And well go about our business as we have over a period of time. But yes. If he wants to do that and let the crowd do that, then let him.Joe Root and R Ashwin have had a running battle as well. Root has been standing very straight at the non-strikers end - presumably to help with DRS calls - but it has also meant that Ashwin cannot get across to field the ball when it is defended into the leg side. Once it hit Roots bat and went to mid-on.Ashwin complained to umpire Chris Gaffaney about Roots positioning, but nothing could be done because non-striking batsman are well within their right to stand wherever they want. Root seemed well aware of this fact - after he had been given licence to carry on, he was caught by the camera winking and smiling.I dont think therees anything in that, to be honest with you, Bairstow said.dddddddddddd The standing straight is standing straight. You can stand anywhere you want. I dont think theres a set thing to stand there at the moment. It is not a set play to try to unsettle anyone or anything like that. Its just that we fancy standing a bit straight.There has been a difference of opinion in terms of tactics as well. Cheteshwar Pujara said England were negative in the second session on the second day when their fast bowlers were bowling outside off stump, generating reverse swing and keeping the runs down. Ravindra Jadeja echoed the same comments on Monday. They were bowling very boring lines, outside off, outside off, outside off.But Bairstow had a counter: At some point youve got to control the rate, havent you? At the same time we got wickets from bowling that. So are you going to bowl to someones strength or are you going to bowl to someones weakness? Two different options to take. Someones very strong straight, you dont bowl straight, someones very strong with the short ball, you dont bowl short to them. Different options to take. Different phases of play you go through. That was just a phase in play and something I thought worked really well.One final potential flashpoint was the appeal against Murali Vijay for obstructing the field when James Anderson fielded a defensive push off his own bowling and aimed a shy at the stumps. The same sequence happened later in the innings with Jadeja at the crease, only this time without the appeal. Neither Vijay nor Jadeja moved deliberately to block the path of the throw so neither were in any danger of dismissal. ' ' '
