The right-handed Walker Buehler started as a hurricane on the mound by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Game three of the National League Championship Series this Tuesday at Dodger Stadium, but his day came to an end when he gave a ticket with the ‘burning ranch’ to Puerto Rican Eddie Rosario to give the Atlanta Braves a partial 4-2 advantage.
It was just only second base on balls with a full house in the race by Buehler. It also capped the shortest start of Buehler’s postseason career (3.2 innings) on a day in which he also equaled a career-high postseason by allowing seven hits:
The only other time he allowed seven hits in a playoff outing was in Game 6 of the 2020 NLCS against the Braves themselves, when he scattered seven hits over six scoreless frames in a 3-1 victory.

Buehler was replaced by Alex Vesia, who retired Freddie Freeman on a single pitch. At the time of the closing of this note, Buehler’s poor performance did not pass to greater, as the Dodgers turned the score around and is leading 6-5 in the opening of the ninth inning, thanks to a three-run HR in a eighth of Cody Bellinger.

I am fond of the King of Sports, especially the Boston Red Sox in MLB and in general all of Mexican baseball. This profession has given me the opportunity to cover major events such as the Caribbean Series, LMB All Star, LMP (uninterrupted since 2009), signings of important players. I had the chance to attend the 2013 World Classic in Arizona, USA, albeit as a fan. Apart from this beautiful sport, I love basketball, where I have also narrated games and even an NBA friendly 10 years ago, but I carry baseball in my veins. Bachelor of Communication Sciences from the Autonomous University of Sinaloa (UAS) , from which I graduated in 2011. I was born in Mazatlán, Sinaloa and started in the world of sports journalism in 2004 in the newspaper El Sol de Mazatlán, where I was a baseball columnist and reporter at the same time. In January 2009 I came to El Debate as a journalist reporter and it was almost six years (in the first stage), until in November 2014 I emigrated to the radio providing my services in Línea Directa-Grupo RSN. My cycle there ended in July 2019 and within days, El Debate gave me another opportunity to work and opened the doors for me again. That is how I came to Al Bat, where I have been since 2019 as a web journalist.
