The Los Angeles Dodgers have been forced to turn to a rookie pitcher after ace Clayton Kershaw’s struggles in the National League Division Series (NLDS) against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Kershaw, who is widely considered one of the best pitchers in baseball, was unable to get out of the fifth inning in Game 1 of the series, giving up four runs on seven hits.
The Dodgers have decided to turn to rookie pitcher Walker Buehler to start Game 3. Buehler, who is just 23 years old, has been impressive in his first season in the majors. He posted a 2.76 ERA in 24 starts, and has been even better in the postseason, with a 1.13 ERA in two starts.
The Dodgers are hoping that Buehler can help them get back into the series after dropping the first two games. The Diamondbacks have been able to take advantage of Kershaw’s struggles and have put the Dodgers in a tough spot.
Buehler will be tasked with trying to slow down the Diamondbacks’ offense, which has been on fire in the first two games of the series. The Diamondbacks have scored a total of 15 runs in the first two games, and have been able to take advantage of Kershaw’s struggles.
The Dodgers are hoping that Buehler can help them get back into the series and give them a chance to advance to the National League Championship Series. He will be facing a tough task against a Diamondbacks lineup that has been hot in the first two games of the series.
It remains to be seen if Buehler can help the Dodgers get back into the series, but it is clear that the Dodgers are putting their faith in the rookie pitcher after Kershaw’s struggles in Game 1. The Dodgers will be hoping that Buehler can help them turn things around and give them a chance to advance to the National League Championship Series.
