Walker Buehler worked around five walks to allow two runs — one earned — in six innings against the Braves on Sunday.
Buehler generated mostly soft contact tonight, and the biggest exception, a 376-foot fly from Jarred Kelenic that would have been a homer in five ballparks, was a harmless flyout. It wasn’t enough to get Buehler his first win since May, but it was an encouraging showing from someone who is going to have to come up big for the injury-decimated Dodgers to have much of a shot in October.
