LOS ANGELES -- The lone bright spot for the Dodgers from their 9-1 loss to the Rockies was that their No. 1 prospect, Walker Buehler, got his first taste of Major League action.
Buehler, the No. 12 prospect per MLBPipeline.com, made his Major League debut on Thursday. After Buehler was called up on Wednesday, manager Dave Roberts said he wanted to ease Buehler into the action and pitch in low-leverage situations. Buehler had that opportunity in the eighth with Dodgers trailing by eight runs.
"The back end of the game, one real highlight was obviously Walker Buehler," Roberts said.
