Takes loss after yielding early runs Buehler (7-6) took the loss against the Mets on Monday, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out four across six innings.

Impact Buehler got off to a slow start, allowing the first three hitters he faced on base and allowing two runs in the opening frame. He kept the Mets off the board the rest of the way and earned the quality start, but he could not get the run support he needed to avoid the loss. Buehler has put together stronger starts in his six starts since the All-Star break, posting a 3.16 ERA and 1.24 WHIP over 31.1 innings, though he also has a 23:14 K:BB in that span. He's lined up to face the Twins at home this weekend.

Earns seventh win Buehler (7-5) earned the win Tuesday against the Brewers, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings.

Impact Buehler threw his second-highest pitch total of the season, tossing 58 of his 98 pitches for strikes, and completed six innings for the first time in 11 starts. His lone run allowed came in the third inning following a leadoff single and a hit batter. After surrendering 20 runs across 11 innings during a disastrous stretch in early July, the right-hander has allowed no more than three runs in each of his last five starts. Through 24 outings this season, Buehler owns a 4.88 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 100:47 K:BB across 114.1 innings. He's scheduled to face the Mets on Monday next.

Logs another short start Buehler allowed one run on six hits and one walk while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Thursday.

Impact Buehler put two runners on base in the first inning but escaped without giving up any runs. He dodged trouble again in the third, when he allowed four straight hits but surrendered only one run. All of that traffic resulted in Buehler needing 76 pitches to get through four frames, and he didn't come back out for the fifth inning. It was the second straight outing during which Buehler has completed less than four frames, though he's yielded a tolerable four runs across 8.1 innings during that span. He's managed to hang onto a rotation spot despite a 5.07 ERA through 23 starts on the season, but the looming returns of Nick Pivetta (forearm) and Joe Musgrove (elbow) -- each of whom recently began a minor-league rehab stint -- could spell the end of Buehler's time as a starter.

Goes just 4.1 innings Saturday Buehler allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Saturday.

Impact All of the scoring against Buehler came in the third inning, when the Giants racked up three runs on five hits and a walk. The right-hander was pulled with just one out in the fifth frame after putting two runners on base. Buehler has gone 10 straight outings without completing six innings and has posted a 5.98 ERA over that stretch. He's at a poor 5.18 ERA on the campaign through 22 appearances spanning 104.1 innings but seems to be locked into the rotation since San Diego doesn't have a wealth of starting pitching depth.

Fans seven in no-decision Buehler did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Marlins, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over 5.1 innings.

Impact After issuing a pair of walks to begin the second inning, Buehler allowed two runs to score, though one came across following a throwing error by catcher Luis Campusano. Kyle Stowers added a solo homer in the third, but Buehler settled in from there, retiring 10 consecutive batters before a sixth-inning single ended his afternoon. The seven strikeouts matched his season high. The veteran right-hander endured a miserable start to July, allowing 20 runs over his first 11 innings, but he has responded with back-to-back strong outings since the break. Buehler is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Giants.

Battles control issues in win Buehler (6-5) earned the win against Atlanta on Tuesday, allowing two runs on two hits and five walks with three strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Impact Buehler allowed two runs in the second inning but otherwise kept Atlanta in check despite issuing a season-high five walks. It was a much-needed effort from the 31-year-old, who entered Tuesday having surrendered 20 earned runs over his first three July outings. He'll carry a 5.23 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 84:40 K:BB across 94.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Marlins this weekend.
