Walker Buehler throws five scoreless innings as Phillies finish off the Marlins for series win | Sports

PHILADELPHIA (TNS)— After Walker Buehler threw his 74th and final pitch against the Marlins — a sweeper that Agustín Ramírez lifted to left field for a flyout — his night wasn’t over.

Buehler had just completed five scoreless innings in the Phillies’ 1-0 rain-interrupted win over Miami, though he finished with three walks. So when Taijuan Walker entered the game in the sixth, Buehler jogged back out to the bullpen to throw a few more pitches.
