Dodgers-Mets: Walker Buehler starts for Los Angeles in NLCS Game 3 [Video]

Buehler, a two-time All-Star who has pitched in several big playoff games for the Dodgers, is coming off his most challenging regular season after his return from a second Tommy John surgery. He went 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA.

In his last start, Buehler went five innings, allowing six runs in Game 3 of the NLDS against the San Diego Padres. All runs allowed in that game came in the second inning in which the Dodgers’ defense offered little help.
