Buehler yielded a season-high seven runs Friday night, including five in the first inning after coming one strike away from escaping the frame with no damage.

The two-time All-Star missed the entire 2023 season while recovering from his second Tommy John surgery and compiled a 5.38 ERA with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024, but stepped up late in the team's ensuing postseason run that culminated in a World Series title.

2) Red Sox starter Walker Buehler gave up five runs on five hits (two homers) and one walk in a disastrous first inning. He pitched just 2 innings and allowed seven runs (five earned runs), seven hits and two walks while striking out two. He also hit a batter to force in a run with the bases loaded. His ERA jumped to 5.18 ERA.
