Buehler (5-1) allowed one run on five hits with six strikeouts and a walk across six innings to earn a victory against the Pirates on Friday.
The 24-year-old lost his last outing, but he's allowed just two earned runs in his last 19 frames, and that's lowered his ERA by nearly a run and a half. Buehler is behind the 9.9 K/9 he posted during his first full major-league season last year, but the rest of his numbers are very good. He has a 3.58 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, .228 batting average against and 52 strikeouts in 55.1 innings this season. Buehler is scheduled to pitch next against the Mets on Wednesday.
