Takes loss despite quality start 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.
Impact 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.

Blanks Giants over seven innings 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.
Impact 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.

No-decision despite dominant outing 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.
Impact 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.
