MIAMI -- Kenta Maeda bought some time for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jose Urena was just too good.The Dodgers managed just four hits against Urena and A.J. Ramos in a 3-0 loss to the Miami Marlins on Sunday.Maeda pitched six effective innings, allowing three runs, two earned, and eight hits. But Josh Reddick, Corey Seager, Adrian Gonzalez and Joc Pederson had the only hits for Los Angeles.I thought Kenta threw the ball well, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. There was a lot of soft contact with Kenta and those guys took what they gave him. I thought he pitched well enough to win.Miami won six of seven in the season series.They had our number this year, Roberts said.The Marlins jumped ahead with two runs in the fourth inning. Ichiro Suzuki, Martin Prado, and Christian Yelich hit consecutive singles for the first run and Justin Bour followed with a sacrifice fly.I didnt think I was pitching well the first three innings, Maeda said through an interpreter.

Their NL West lead was trimmed to three games by San Francisco, which swept Arizona with a 5-3 victory.Urena pitched 8 2/3 innings of four-hit ball. He retired the first 14 batters he faced.When you get quick outs early in the game, that helps you more and you can get more deep in the game, Urena said. You just have to be aggressive and go after the hitters.Urena struck out four and walked none while throwing 71 of 108 pitches for strikes. It was by far the longest appearance of his 45 major league games.Youve got to give Urena credit, the kid threw the ball well, Roberts said. It doesnt matter how well were swinging or what happened yesterday, he threw the ball well. He did his job.The 24-year-old Urena was lifted after giving up a base hit to Reddick. A.J. Ramos got the final out for his 34th save in 37 chances.It seemed like his pitches were getting flatter and up in the zone, and we didnt want to put A.J. in a situation where he couldnt make one bad pitch, Miami manager Don Mattingly said.The Dodgers put two on with one out in the seventh, but Urena got Yasmani Grandal to ground into a double play.Dodgers outfielder Andre Ethier made his first start of the season after making a pinch-hit appearance on Sunday.

Matheson fed Rau in the slot with a no-look, between-the-legs pass, and Rau finished to make it 2-1 with 4:38 left in the first.I felt three or four guys around me, so I thought someone has to be open, Matheson said. I knew we were changing, so I just tried to apply some pressure. I ended up keeping the puck down low for a little bit. I was just trying to buy some time.Desharnais recorded an assist on Paciorettys goal for his first point in 12 games.
