2020 World Series: Walker Buehler, Justin Turner Further Cement Names In Dodgers Postseason Records

Looking to avoid falling behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the World Series, the Los Angeles Dodgers received an all-around effort in Game 3 that was driven by Walker Buehler and Justin Turner.

Buehler held the Rays without a hit until the fifth inning and allowed just one run over six. He finished the night with 10 strikeouts, becoming the first pitcher in World Series history to reach double-digits in six innings or fewer.

The 10-strikeout performance was the first in the Fall Classic since Clayton Kershaw had 11 in Game 1 of the 2017 World Series, and Buehler became just the seventh pitcher in Dodgers franchise history to accomplish the feat.
