Earlier this week in his first start of the season, Walker Buehler ran out of gas after three innings. Thankfully for the Dodgers, today was not a repeat, as he made it through five (mostly) strong innings today and avoided a repeat performance. Unlike his season debut, Buehler was able to find the strike zone with his breaking ball, though he also partially solved that problem by throwing 75% fastballs today.
The only damage against Buehler was a home run by David Dahl on a fastball up and in, which was more of a testament to Dahl’s bat speed than a particularly bad location.
