Short start Saturday
Buehler allowed four runs on three hits and four walks while striking out one over two innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Analysis
Buehler and Trey Yesavage both labored in the early innings of this contest. Buehler ended up throwing just 65 pitches (31 strikes) in his shortest start of the season. He heads into the All-Star break on a wicked skid, having allowed 20 runs and six home runs over his last 11 innings. Overall, he has a 5.36 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 81:35 K:BB through 89 innings over 19 starts.

Tagged for seven runs in loss
Buehler (5-5) took the loss against Arizona on Monday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out four batters over five innings.
Analysis
Buehler never seemed to settle in, as he gave up two runs in the first inning, four in the third and another in the fourth. The seven runs the right-hander allowed were his second most in an outing this season, behind the nine runs he gave up in his previous start July 1 against the Cubs. Prior to the pair of ugly starts, Buehler had surrendered exactly one earned run in five straight appearances and no more than four in any of his first 16 outings this season. The rough two-game stretch has pushed Buehler's ERA up from 3.81 to 5.07, but he seems to be safe in the rotation for now given the Padres' lack of other options. Buehler is next slated to take the mound at home versus Toronto just before the All-Star break.
