The Dodgers are finally back home at Dodger Stadium, and for better or worse nothing has changed. A starter exited with an injury, they offense bombed four homers, and they defeated the Braves 7-3. The question yet again is what the cost was.

Walker Buehler got the start and looked well on pace to delivering the deep start the Dodgers desperately needed. However, after four no-hit innings, he allowed a run on consecutive hits in the 5th and then exited after striking out the first batter of the 6th. Buehler threw just 71 pitches in 5.
