Playoffs Week 2: Wednesday Roundup

We don't understand Clay Buchholz's success in Arizona, but we're willing to use this picture of him.
STUDS: Jack Flaherty (FDD) struck out 10 and allowed a run in a 6-inning no-decision. In the same game, Walker Buehler (M) struck out 9 in 7 shutout innings... in a no-decision. Oh, Dodgers bullpen. Christian Yelich (M) homered, doubled, singled twice, drove in 2, and was caught stealing. We're none of us perfect. Bryce Harper (AL) doubled, singled twice, scored twice, stole a base and drove in 1. Julio Teheran (AL) struck out 5 and allowed a run in 7 innings for the win. Clay Buchholz (BM) earned the win with 7 strikeouts in 7 shutout innings, somehow. Noah Syndergaard (BM) struck out 6 and allowed 2 runs in 6 innings for the win. Justin Bour (FF) homered, doubled, drove in 2, and went on the DL right after the game. Paul Goldschmidt (CB) was a triple shy of the cycle, walked, scored twice and drove in 2.

Some of that 1/3 is apparently eroding.
DUDS: Jorge Alfaro (SG) singled and erred (aka "The Villar"). Brandon Crawford (PM) walked and made 2 errors and, honestly, not much makes us happier than that greaseball making errors. Seranthony Dominguez (CB) allowed 2 runs in 0.2 innings, blowing the save, taking the loss and, worst of all, making Ryan Zimmerman the walkoff hero again.
