Dodgers manager Roberts hails Buehler for "being a big-game pitcher"

Walker Buehler struck out 10 over six innings in a pulsating performance, and Los Angeles beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 on Friday night for a 2-1 World Series lead.

Justin Turner homered in the first inning against a surprisingly hittable Charlie Morton, who was chased in the fifth.

Austin Barnes, the Dodgers' No. 9 hitter and catcher, added a sixth-inning homer against John Curtiss. He became just the second player to drive in runs with both a homer and a sacrifice bunt in the same Series game.

Mookie Betts added a two-out RBI single that made it 5-0.

Five of the Dodgers' first six runs scored with two outs, raising their total to nine of 18 in the Series and 50 of 87 in the postseason.
