Walker Buehler Works 5 Strong Innings in His Phillies Debut, an 8-2 Win over the Royals
Walker Buehler allowed one run over five innings with three strikeouts in his Phillies debut, supporting the team's fifth consecutive win and strengthening their rotation depth.
- Walker Buehler debuted for the Philadelphia Phillies Friday at Citizens Bank Park, tossing five innings of one-run ball in an 8-2 win over the Kansas City Royals as Philadelphia collected 14 hits.
- The Phillies signed Walker Buehler on August 31 after Boston designated him, and he joined Philadelphia following a Triple-A Lehigh Valley rehab start.
- Buehler allowed one run on five hits with one walk and three strikeouts while also hitting a batter, inducing 11 whiffs tied for his second-most this season.
- That extra rest could come via a six-man rotation through the end of the regular season, giving Philadelphia starters extra rest and postseason roster considerations with Sánchez and Suárez likely locked in.
- Given his big-market pedigree from Los Angeles and Boston, Buehler is seen as a potential impact arm, with manager Rob Thomson saying `Yeah, I mean that's in the conversation' about his upcoming starts in the coming weeks.
