Walker Buehler's struggles coupled with a frustrating end to a ninth-inning rally means the Dodgers are still trailing the San Francisco Giants.
had just come off the Dodgers’ bench to belt a pinch-hit, two-run home run to reinvigorate the masses, producing a scene befitting for October, down to the sweater weather.populated the batter’s box. Giants closer Jake McGee toed the mound. The Dodgers had two outs to make up a two-run deficit to avoid losing the three-game series, dropping the 19-game season series, and sinking back into second place in the National League West.
“We have a month left,” Dodgers starter Walker Buehler said. “This was a big game, a Sunday night game, and tied in the division and all that, but what it boils down to is playing a better month of baseball than they do.” San Francisco added two more runs in the third inning on back-to-back doubles from LaMonte Wade Jr. and Crawford and Curt Casali’s RBI single. Buehler then hit for himself in the top of the fourth inning, but he didn’t take the mound in the bottom of the frame. His day ended after 53 pitches. He yielded a season-high six runs on seven hits across the three innings. He walked one and had one strikeout. His earned-run average rose from 2.05 to 2.31, denting his case for the Cy Young honor.
“We left those guys off the hook and they put up some zeroes and added on,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “Situationally, they were better than we were and got hits when they needed to and that was the difference in the game.” “Obviously, AJ’s been one of our better performers all year long,” Roberts said. “So, to miss out on that player is a big loss.”Without Pollock, the Dodgers plan on giving Cody Bellinger more playing time. Bellinger had been relegated to a platoon role, only starting in center field against right-handed starting pitchers since Betts came off the injured list Aug. 26, as he slogs through a dreadful offensive season.
