Walker Buehler struggles in loss

The Los Angeles Dodgers fell to the Colorado Rockies 6-3 on Saturday, hampered by a lackluster offensive performance and ongoing pitching struggles. Walker Buehler, who has been recovering from injuries, suffered the loss despite recording a season-high nine strikeouts, allowing four runs over 5.1 innings, bringing his record to 1-6 with a 5.63 ERA. Although Buehler displayed flashes of his former self, his inconsistent early innings continue to raise concerns about his readiness for the postseason. The Dodgers aim to solidify their pitching rotation with just eight games left in the regular season, as injuries have plagued their staff. Despite the setback, the Dodgers maintain a three-game lead over the San Diego Padres in the National League West. Manager Dave Roberts acknowledged the team's challenge but remains optimistic about their playoff chances.
