Walker Buehler labored through his worst start of the season and the Los Angeles Dodgers suffered a 6-4 loss in the rubber match against the San Francisco Giants.
The Giants not only reclaimed sole possession of first place in the National League West, but they won 10 of 19 regular-season meetings and therefore would have home-field advantage if a Game 163 is required to decide a division winner.
Buehler pitched all of three innings and allowed six runs, both of which were season-worst marks. It also was the first time Buehler allowed six runs since doing so against the Colorado Rockies on Sept.
