Walker Buehler Dominates Giants With Five Scoreless Innings

Competing for a back-end rotation spot, Walker Buehler delivered a dominant performance against the San Francisco Giants, tossing five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, three hits, and two walks on 77 pitches. After struggling with a 5.45 ERA in 2025, Buehler has posted a 3.09 ERA this spring. With Joe Musgrove sidelined, Buehler is making a strong case for a rotation role as he leans into a new pitching approach to overcome past velocity loss.
