Walker Buehler strode through the Dodgers dugout, accepting high-fives from his teammates, when he heard manager Dave Roberts call out to him. Buehler spun around after seven innings of one-run baseball in a 6-1 victory over San Diego. Roberts offered a handshake and a hug. Buehler was done and the Dodgers were on their way to collecting another series victory.
The Dodgers offered Buehler enough support, with Max Muncy and Cody Bellinger each launching two-run homers in the eighth inning to provide insurance. Buehler kept an early advantage safe. He struck out eight batters and gave up four hits.
