The last time Walker Buehler was on the mound at Yankee Stadium before Friday’s game against the Yankees, he helped the Dodgers record the final three outs in their 2024 World Series win. His first start in The Bronx as a member of the Red Sox didn’t go anywhere near as smoothly.
Buehler was rocked to the tune of seven runs (five earned) on seven hits, two walks, and two strikeouts in two innings pitched in Boston’s 9-6 loss to New York on Friday. All five earned runs Buehler allowed came in the first inning, allowing the Yankees to bat around the lineup as Jazz Chisholm hit a three-run homer before Anthony Volpe hit a two-run shot.
