Wednesday’s finale between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Cincinnati Reds at Dodger Stadium had a heavy Vanderbilt presence, as a pair of former Commodores in Walker Buehler and Sonny Gray faced off against each other.
Both right-handers were dominant early on, but it was Buehler who outdueled Gray in the end. The Dodgers ultimately pulled out a slim 3-2 victory, propelled by A.J. Pollock’s clutch three-run home run in the sixth inning.
Gray allowed just the three runs, but Buehler fared even better, limiting the Reds to one unearned run in 6.1 innings pitched with eight strikeouts against only one walk.
