But in the midst of a tough weekend, they could take some solace in a much-needed encouraging start from\u00a0Walker Buehler.<\/p>\n<p>With the flurry of injuries to the starting staff, Buehler will almost certainly have a prominent role in the Dodgers\u2019 postseason rotation. The right-hander, who has had a tough season, delivered a positive start on Sunday, allowing two runs (one earned) over six strong innings in a\u00a09-2 win\u00a0over the Braves at Truist Park.<\/p>\n<p>Buehler\u2019s strong start bought time for the Dodgers\u2019 offense to strike, and it was their three Most Valuable Players &#8212; Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman &#8212; who delivered the timely hits when Los Angeles needed them most.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Styles__StoryPartContainer-sc-1mfrmm0-0 cTMViG story-part dynamicinclude\">\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 eJdqRG\">\n<div id=\"root\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<article>\n<section>\n<div class=\"Styles__StoryPartContainer-sc-1mfrmm0-0 cTMViG story-part oembed\">\n<div class=\"Styles__OEmbedContainer-oapuup-0 lmzrfD social-embed swipeStory\">\n<div class=\"tapStory__outerWrapper\">\n<div class=\"Styles__AspectRatioContainer-sc-1t1lmmv-0 gamGeh\">\n<div class=\"Styles__AspectRatioContent-sc-1t1lmmv-1 fvEQJr\">\n<div class=\"ampStoryPlayerstyle__AmpStoryPlayerContainer-sc-1v918zo-1 fgbtKT\">\n<div class=\"i-amphtml-fill-content i-amphtml-story-player-shadow-root-intermediary\">\n<div class=\"i-amphtml-story-player-main-container i-amphtml-story-player-loaded\"><iframe class=\"story-player-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/stories\/game\/747071?ap=1#visibilityState=prerender&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com&amp;showStoryUrlInfo=0&amp;storyPlayer=v0&amp;cap=swipe\" sandbox=\"allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-forms allow-modals allow-pointer-lock allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"Styles__StoryPartContainer-sc-1mfrmm0-0 cTMViG story-part markdown\">\n<div class=\"Styles__MarkdownContainer-dxqlie-0 eJdqRG\">\n<p>Ohtani, who has struggled with runners in scoring position, was all of the Dodgers\u2019 offense through eight innings, delivering a pair of RBI doubles.
