Buehler (6-2) took the loss during Saturday's 9-4 defeat at the hands of the Mets, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 2.1 innings.
Buehler submitted his worst start of 2022 by far, surrendering a Francisco Lindor solo shot in the first inning and four baserunners and four runs in the third before being pulled. Since lowering his ERA to a season-best 1.96 on May 8, the 27-year-old has permitted multiple runs in five straight starts and has seen that number balloon to 3.84 along with a subpar 1.31 WHIP. Buehler is also averaging a career-worst 7.8 K/9. He will look to rebound against San Francisco next weekend.
