Buehler pitches a three-hit shutout, the first of his career and the first complete game shutout in the majors this season in a 4-0 win.
PHOENIX — SportsNet LA runs a show called “Dodgers Squeeze Play” where they replay condensed versions of Dodger games.That’s how long into the game the Dodgers needed to take a 2-0 lead over an Arizona Diamondbacks team that is one of the least offensive in baseball this season. Walker Buehler took it from there, pitching a three-hit shutout as the Dodgers collected a 4-0 victory on Monday night at Chase Field.
Nine pitches were enough for Mookie Betts to draw a walk, Freddie Freeman to lash a double into the right field corner and Trea Turner to drive them both in with a double to left.Primarily a leadoff hitter in his career before this, the Dodgers have opted to leave Betts in his comfort zone there and drop Turner into more of a run-producing role, batting third behind Freeman. He has responded, going 10 for 25 with runners in scoring position.
Betts has begun to emerge from his slow start. Starting with his two-home run game in San Diego on Friday night, Betts has been on base 10 times and scored eight runs in the first four games of this road trip.
