Yennier Cano worked a scoreless eighth and Félix Bautista pitched a scoreless ninth for his 26th save in 31 chances.
Urías’ first double keyed a four-run first for the Orioles, and his second gave them a 6-2 lead after three.
Henderson homered with two outs in the fifth to give Baltimore an 8-5 lead.
Max Muncy hit his 22nd home run for Los Angeles and James O3 RBIs utman hit his 12th, an opposite-field drive to left in the fourth off Dean Kremer.
Kremer allowed five runs, four hits and four walks in 4 2/3 innings.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Dodgers: OF Jake Marisnick was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain. OF Jonny Deluca was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City. … Manager Dave Roberts said that LHP Clayton Kershaw, who threw a bullpen on Tuesday is progressing well. Kershaw is on the 15-day IL with left shoulder soreness. “The thought is on Friday, he’ll throw a more aggressive bullpen,” Roberts said. “If that goes well, the next progression would probably be facing some hitters.” … Roberts said that RHP Dustin May faces “a long road back” after right elbow surgery on Tuesday. “It’s a tough one, concerning all that he’s gone through. I’m certain he’s going to work his way back,” Roberts said.
Orioles: OF Cedric Mullins was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right adductor groin strain. The move was retroactive to Sunday. Manager Brandon Hyde said he hoped Mullins could return when he’s eligible on July 26. To replace him on the roster, the Orioles recalled RHP Logan Gillaspie from Triple-A Norfolk.
