Buehler (1-6) took the loss against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.
Buehler struggled early, allowing a leadoff double to Charlie Blackmon to open the game followed by a walk to Ezequiel Tovar. The right-hander allowed one run in the frame, along with two more runs on a Tovar double in the following inning. Buehler did manage to get through five innings for the fourth consecutive start but not before allowing four or more runs for the second time in his last three outings. He now carries a 5.06 ERA in September through four starts, though his nine strikeouts Saturday did mark a season high for the 30-year-old.
