Walker Buehler (31) started the game against the Kansas City Royals at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the 13th (Korea time) and allowed one run with one walk and three strikeouts in five innings. The total number of pitches is 90.
Buehler, who had the last out count of winning the Los Angeles Dodgers World Series last year, signed a one-year, $21.05 million contract with Boston ahead of this season.
He was a pitcher who experienced two World Series wins in 2020 and last year, but was eventually released after sluggish with a 5.45 ERA in 23 games (22 starts) this season.
It didn't take long to get a new team. He signed a minor contract with Philadelphia on the 31st of last month, and will make his debut in about two weeks.
In interviews with local media, including MLB.COM in the U.S., Buehler said "It didn't work out well in Boston, it's great to be in Philadelphia. I also talked to Philadelphia last offseason, but it didn't end well. Still, the team that we have always respected."

Buehler, who came forward as a 'winning contractor', said "Everyone is heading for the same goal. All the players here will do anything to win the championshiphave an attitude that ' Not all teams are like that. This team has enough potential."
Philadelphia is looking forward to 2011 when it won 16 games against Buehler. At the same time, he should have been strong in the postseason. In 2024, Buehler had a 5.38 ERA, but he pitched five scoreless innings in Game 3 of the World Series against the New York Yankees and even made a save in Game 5. He has an ERA of 3.04 in the postseason and only 0.47 in the World Series.
First of all, his debut in Philadelphia was a success. Two hits in the first inning allowed a run, but for the next five innings, he tied the opponent's batting line perfectly without allowing a run. Thanks to Buehler's good pitching, Philadelphia won 8-2, and Buehler became the winning pitcher.
With Buehler's addition, Philadelphia is also able to rotate its six-man starting rotation. MLB.COM reported that `It is expected to help in the physical fitness arrangement of existing starters such as Christopher Sanchez, Ranger Suarez, Aaron Nola, Jesus Rusardo, and Taiwan Walker.' Then 'What Philadelphia expects from Buehler is not just rotation stability. The belief that he can lead the team to victory is '...' he pointed out.
Buehler also "This team has good potential to win, whether I'm good or not. But I will contribute as much as I can."
