The best pitcher on the team, is Russell Martin.
0.00 ERA, closes out the game and preserves the shutout? Your catcher could never. pic.twitter.com/aajUBTFb7x

Here’s some other cool stuff for you
The @Dodgers' Walker Buehler won tonight to improve to 11-3 (.786). Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw is 13-3 (.813) & Hyun-Jin Ryu is 12-4 (.750).

In NL history, there has never been a team to have 3 pitchers make 25+ starts and finish with a .750+ win percentage in the same season.
In 4 career starts vs. the Padres, the @Dodgers' Walker Buehler is 4-0 with a 0.64 ERA and 42 Ks.
— Stats By STATS (@StatsBySTATS) August 28, 2019
Since ERA became an official stat in 1913, the only other pitcher to go 4-0 with a sub-1.00 ERA and 40+ Ks over his first 4 starts against a team was Pedro Martinez against Seattle.
The Dodgers have a chance to accomplish history, again.

Check out this walk-off..
Here's Padres/Angels legend Jabari Blash with a walk-off dinger and a bat drop that's possibly better than the dinger.
