Dodgers turn to Walker Buehler as pennant race heats up

With only five games remaining, the Dodgers hold a tight 1 12 game lead in the division. They’re arguably playing their best ball of the season at the moment, but so are the Rockies. Unable to separate ground, the Dodgers have held the same lead since Saturday.

Looking to keep the Dodgers afloat is Rookie of the Year candidate, Walker Buehler.

The 23-year-old is coming off of arguably the best start of his young career. Last week against the Rockies, Buehler had a career-high 12 strikeouts in only six innings.
