The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a 4-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, highlighted by a strong performance from RHP Walker Buehler. Buehler, in his first win since May 24, 2022, and his first since undergoing his second Tommy John surgery, pitched six scoreless innings, allowing only three hits and striking out seven without issuing any walks. He threw 78 pitches, 55 of which were strikes, and delivered first-pitch strikes to 11 of the 21 batters he faced. Buehler also preserved a 2-0 lead by escaping a jam with a runner on third and one out, getting Jeimer Candelario to pop out and Jonathan India to ground out. This win marks Buehler's first victory at Dodger Stadium in exactly two years.
