Mark Buehrle earned his third straight win Sunday, holding the Orioles to one run over seven innings. Buehrle hasn't allowed more than one run in any of his three starts, as he lowered his ERA to 0.86 and WHIP to 0.90 in the win. On Sunday, he gave up just five hits while not walking a batter. The southpaw has it all working right now, and he'll look to keep it going when the Jays visit the Indians next weekend.

Mark Buehrle held the Astros to one run over 5 1/3 innings, taking home the win on Tuesday. Buehrle followed up Wednesday's gem with another solid start, giving up eight hits and a walk while striking out three. Don't expect such high quality outings on a regular basis, though stranger things have happened to a 35-year-old pitcher.

Mark Buehrle tossed 8 2/3 shutout innings in Wednesday's start against the Rays. The lefty escaped the start with barely a scratch, allowing only four hits and a walk while striking out 11 with 96 pitches. Buehrle, 35, finished with a 4.15 ERA last season and typically averages only five or six strikeouts per start, but he will turn in a start like Wednesday night's once in a blue moon. Don't be wooed by the performance, though, as Buehrle is still a risky play in mixed leagues against the AL's better offenses.

Mark Buehrle allowed two runs over four innings in an exhibition game against the Mets in Montreal on Friday. In front of a raucous crowd, the southpaw gave up four hits and a walk, striking out two. The 35-year-old finishes camp with a 2.93 ERA over 15 1/3 innings. He's hoping for a better result this year after a down 2013 in which he posted a 4.15 ERA in the first year with his new club.

Mark Buehrle won for the first time this spring after allowing one run in 6 1/3 innings Sunday against the Yankees. Buehrle was making his first official start in 16 days, though he was still getting his work in. He's rarely been a successful spring starter anyway, but he knows how to get ready for the season. He won today despite not striking out a batter. 10 of his outs came on the ground.

Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos "all-but acknowledged" that Mark Buehrle's name had come up in trade talks, according to Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith. At the end of the day, Buehrle's first season with the Blue Jays was about as good as any other Mark Buehrle season: 12-10, 4.15 ERA and 139/51 K/BB rate over 203 2/3 innings. It only felt like a disappointment due to the unrealistic expectations levied upon Toronto following its mega-deal with the Marlins last winter. Buehrle last threw for less than 200 innings in the year 2000, his rookie campaign. For frame of reference, that was the year that the PlayStation 2 was released.

Mark Buehrle has been diagnosed with a right calf contusion. Buehrle took a comebacker off the area during Thursday's start and was removed as a precaution. The injury isn't a long-term concern, but obviously the left-hander's season is over. He went out with a whimper, allowing three runs on eight hits over 3 1/3 frames before exiting. Buehrle ends the year with a 4.15 ERA.

Mark Buehrle held the Red Sox to one earned run over six innings Saturday in the Blue Jays' 4-2 win. Let's not forget that the Red Sox were up late Friday celebrating their American League East title. Buehrle cruised through Boston's day-after lineup, allowing just five hits and fanning five without issuing a walk. He will finish his 2013 season next week in Baltimore.

Mark Buehrle allowed eight runs on 12 hits in four innings in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday. Buehrle had strung together five straight quality starts heading into Tuesday's game, but he was bad from the get-go against the Angels. The southpaw allowed a home run to the second batter of the game and ended up allowing three home runs in total on the night. He may not be as good as he'd been over his previous five starts, but he also won't be as bad as he was Tuesday going forward. He'll look to rebound Sunday against a tough Orioles offense.
