Walker Buehler took the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday night for the first time in nearly two years.
The right-hander came away from the outing confident despite allowing three runs on six hits over four innings against the Miami Marlins.
Buehler averaged 96 mph with his fastball and reached 97 and 98 mph on a handful of occasions.
\"I think I could be OK if I was 92-94 [mph]; I think I\'m confident that way,\" Buehler said. \"But it helps a lot if I can throw 96 or 97. I\'m very confident in my ability to do a lot of things with the ball. It\'s just a lot easier for me to do it the way that I know how to do it. The idea that I can get pretty close to what I used to do, it makes it a little more attainable.\"
