LOS ANGELES — Earlier in the week, Walker Buehler chucked his glove in anger when he reached the dugout.
On Saturday night, he simply scratched his head, flipped off his cap and buried his face in a towel.
All season, Buehler and the Los Angeles Dodgers have maintained confidence in the right-hander’s tantalizing skill set. They’ve remained steadfast given his dominant track record. They’ve promised that, despite some early inconsistency, he would eventually start looking like his old self on the mound.
