Buehler allowed one run on four hits and three walks with 10 strikeouts through seven innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler hit a double-digit strikeout total for the third time this season Saturday night, punching out 10 Mets in a superb performance. The lone run that he yielded came on a Michael Conforto solo homer, the first long ball Buehler has allowed since June 24. While the walks are a little concerning (10 in his last three starts), the Vanderbilt product has allowed just four runs in his last five appearances.

Buehler (12-2) allowed one earned run on four hits and four walks while striking out eight across six innings, earning the win over the Angels on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler allowed a total of eight batters to reach safely over six innings, but only one run scored on a Phil Gosselin double in the fourth frame. It was his sixth consecutive quality start in a row. Over that stretch, he has allowed only five runs in 39.1 innings. The 26-year-old carries a 2.13 ERA and a 0.93 WHIP with a 9.23 K/9 through 147.2 innings. He has the second-most innings pitched and third-most wins in all of baseball.

Buehler (11-2) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Astros despite tossing six innings of one-run ball, allowing five hits and three walks while fanning five.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler posted a fifth straight quality start but was unable to record his 12th win of the season, as he was the victim of a lack of run support on a night when the Dodgers mustered just five hits. As such, it's hard to criticize Buehler's outing, especially since he's been one of the best pitchers in the National League throughout the season. He owns a 2.16 ERA with a 0.92 WHIP across 141.2 innings in 2021.

Buehler (11-1) tossed seven scoreless innings in a win over the Giants on Wednesday. He allowed just three hits and two walks while striking out eight.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler was masterful Wednesday evening, throwing 70 of 98 pitches for strikes and allowing just one baserunner to reach scoring position. The 26-year-old has undoubtedly been one of the best starters in baseball this year, registering a quality outing in 18 of his 21 starts. He's gone at least seven while striking out eight or more batters over his last three appearances and has not allowed a home run since June 24. Buehler owns a 2.19 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 139:31 K:BB over 135.2 innings. He's in line for a challenging matchup against the Astros next week.

Buehler didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Giants despite tossing 7.1 innings of one-run ball, allowing five hits and a walk while fanning nine.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler did everything he could to come away with his 11th win of the season, but the bullpen surrendered four runs in the top of the ninth and that forced the right-hander to settle with a no-decision. The 26-year-old is in the midst of a career-best season, though, posting a career-best 2.31 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP while also tossing three straight quality starts. His next outing is slated to happen next week on the road against the same opponent, this time in San Francisco.

Buehler (10-1) allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out eight across seven innings, earning the win over the Rockies on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler allowed a pair of doubles that led to two runs against him. However, he provided another solid performance for his 16th quality start of the season, leading all of baseball. The 26-year-old has allowed just five earned runs over his last four starts. He carries a 2.37 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP with 122 strikeouts in 121.1 innings. His next start is scheduled Thursday against the Giants.

Buehler (9-1) won Saturday's 22-1 victory over Arizona, allowing no runs on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler was staked to a nine-run lead after two innings and cruised to an easy ninth victory. His most troublesome inning was actually the first but a five spot by Los Angeles in the bottom of the inning eased all concerns. The 26-year-old heads into the All-Star break with a 2.36 ERA and a 26:114 K:BB ratio.

Buehler gave up four runs (three earned) on five hits and two walks over five innings during Monday's 5-4 loss to the Marlins. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Remarkably, it's the first time through 17 starts this season the right-hander failed to complete six frames. Miami struck for three runs during the third inning on three hits, an error and a hit by pitch and tacked on another run in the fourth. Buehler has a 2.49 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 107:24 K:BB across 108.1 innings, and he lines up for one more start before the All-Star break versus the Diamondbacks this weekend.

Buehler (8-1) earned the win Tuesday against the Giants after giving up an unearned run on three hits and a walk across 6.2 innings, striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler has tossed nine straight quality starts and continues to be one of the best pitchers in the National League, posting a 1.53 ERA, a 0.90 WHIP and a 54:19 K:BB during that nine-game span. The righty has also fanned at least six in three straight outings. He is slated to pitch again next week on the road against the Marlins.

Buehler (7-1) took the loss in Thursday's 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Cubs, allowing three runs on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Buehler and Chicago starter Zach Davies were engaged in a tight pitchers' duel until he allowed a Willson Contreras two-run homer in the sixth to go down 3-0. He still pitched well enough to earn a quality start but that would be far from enough as Los Angeles was no-hit by the Chicago staff. The loss was Buehler's first since 2019 and snaps a 23-start lossless stretch for the 26-year-old right hander.
