Walker Buehler records his first win against the Los Angeles Dodgers since leaving the franchise, helping the San Diego Padres beat the Dodgers 7-1 in an NL West matchup. Buehler, now in his still-new Padres uniform, delivers a strong performance in his first chance to pitch against his former team. Multiple reports say he limits Los Angeles to three hits and keeps the Dodgers off balance through the middle innings, holding the game until at least the sixth inning. The outcome also marks a notable moment in the rivalry, with Buehler previously known for successful outings versus the Padres during his nearly decade with the Dodgers. In this game, San Diego’s offense supports his start, producing seven runs while the Dodgers manage one run. The win gives the Padres the advantage in the series and underscores Buehler’s ability to translate his past effectiveness into his new role with San Diego.
