ATLANTA (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers have tapped Walker Buehler to start Game 6 of the NL Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves after bumping achy Max Scherzer. The right-handed Buehler will be coming back on just three days’ rest, with the 106-win Dodgers in a must-win situation. The Braves lead the series 3-2. With a full week of rest, Buehler was roughed up by the Braves in his Game 3 start on Tuesday. He gave up four runs, two earned, and six hits in just 3 2/3 innings. Buehler also pitched on short rest in Game 4 of the NLDS.
