Dodgers Notes: Walker Buehler Signs, Teoscar Hernandez Benched, Max Muncy Return Pushed Back
The Los Angeles Dodgers avoided the sweep and beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5-4, on Sunday, thanks to a walk-off pinch-hit home run by Will Smith. The backstop’s fourth walk-off pinch-hit dinger (the second-most in MLB history), and a 10-strikeout game by Yoshinobu Yamamoto improved the Dodgers’ record to 78-59 on the year.
In other news, former Dodgers pitcher Walker Buehler signed a deal with a National League contender. After being released by the Boston Red Sox this week, the right-hander will not reunite with the Dodgers this season as he heads East.
