LOS ANGELES (AP) — Walker Buehler is set to start on three days’ rest for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of their NL Division Series against the San Francisco Giants. Buehler is opposed by right-hander Anthony DeSclafani, making his first appearance this postseason. DeSclafani had a 3.17 ERA in 31 starts of the best season of his seven-year career. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts says Buehler volunteered to pitch on short rest for the first time in his career. The Giants lead the best-of-five series and could eliminate the defending World Series champions with a victory at Dodger Stadium. Game 5 would be Thursday in San Francisco, if needed.
