Buehler walked five batters in five innings in Game 1 of the NLCS against the Braves on Monday but limited the damage to just one run allowed. He struck out seven while allowing just three hits and did not factor into the decision.
Buehler didn't do a great job keeping the bases clean, though they were empty when the Braves recorded their only extra-base hit against him, a Freddie Freeman solo homer in the first inning. While the walks are something of a concern, partially because they forced him to use 100 pitches just to get through five frames, the final line is one Buehler and the Dodgers can be happy with. The righty now owns a 2.77 ERA in three starts this postseason.
