With a little help from Rich Hill and the Dodgers' in-house Blister Whisperer, Walker Buehler put in a fine start in a 5-1 win over the Oakland Athletics.
After two excellent seasons, Dodgers slugger Max Muncy has batted under .200 most of 2020. He’s hoping to turn it around during the postseason.Buehler leaned heavily on a four-seam fastball that averaged 97.2 mph and touched 99 mph, throwing his heater 41 times. He threw 19 knucklecurves, which put more pressure on the fingertips, and five cut-fastballs.“I would say my stuff tonight was probably as good as it has been this year,” Buehler said. “The blister wasn’t an issue at all.
Buehler threw only 72/3 innings in the last month before Thursday, his blister first surfacing after an Aug. 21 game against Colorado. His second start back from the IL, on Sept. 8 at Arizona, ended after 22/3 innings because of the blister.Buehler threw a 90-pitch simulated game last Saturday, his finger uncovered for 75 pitches and covered for the final 15 — an effort Roberts hoped he would match against the A’s.
