Buehler shines vs. former team as Padres take opener vs. LA

Walker Buehler pitched 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball, striking out five and allowing just three hits, as the San Diego Padres defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-1 on Friday night. Ty France hit a three-run home run to give San Diego an early lead, and the Padres added late insurance runs to secure their fourth consecutive victory. It was Buehler's first start against the Dodgers as a Padre after spending seven years with Los Angeles.
