Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Confirmed as Game 3 starter

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed Monday that Buehler will start Wednesday in Game 3 of the NLCS against the Mets, Nick Hamilton of SiriusXM reports.

The Dodgers elected to go with an opener (Ryan Brasier) and bulk reliever (Landon Knack) in Game 2, setting Buehler up to pitch on the road in Game 3 Wednesday. Buehler allowed six runs and didn't record a single strikeout over five innings in his NLDS Game 3 start versus the Padres. He will be opposed by Luis Severino on Wednesday.
