Buehrle picked up the win after surrendering four runs in the first inning and pitching a complete game in Friday's 6-4 victory over the Twins.
After an incredibly shaky first inning, where he allowed five hits and four runs, Buehrle gave up just one single for the rest of the game and ended up with a complete game. Buehrle's lack of strikeouts and high ERA (4.97) makes him a risky fantasy play, but he eats innings and has seen decisions in all 10 of his starts this season.

Buehrle took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over 7.1 innings, striking out four.
Buehrle continues have trouble shaving down his unsightly 5.13 ERA, and Saturday's quality start was just his second in his last six outings. His next turn in the rotation comes on Friday in pitcher-friendly Minnesota.

Buehrle surrendered four runs on six hits in Sunday's loss to Houston.
Buehrle walked two batters while striking out five across eight innings on his way to loss number three on the year. He now holds an ugly ERA of 5.36 to go along with a 1.57 WHIP. Buehrle has certainly struggled up to this point and he'll look to get back on track against the Mariners in his next start.

Buehrle gave up two earned runs on four hits and one walk with four strikeouts in six innings Tuesday against the Orioles.
He was staked a nice lead by his teammates and was able to cruise to his fifth victory of the season while only throwing 78 pitches (53 strikes) in six innings. Buehrle takes the ball again on Sunday in Houston.

Buehrle (4-2) gave up one run on six hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings Wednesday in a win against the Yankees.
Despite that 4-2 record, this modest outing -- Buehrle's first win against the Yankees in 11 years -- may qualify as his finest start of the season. With just a 14:8 K:BB over 33 innings, the veteran is pitching to more contact than ever, and it hasn't been kind to his numbers. On the bright side, both of his quality starts this year came against the Orioles, and he'll next start in Baltimore on Tuesday.

Buehrle allowed eight runs on 11 hits, walking two and striking out just one over 4.1 innings of a 9-4 loss to Cleveland Friday night.
The veteran dropped to 3-2 with an unsightly 6.75 ERA after another rough outing. The Indians put up multiple runs in the third, fourth, and fifth innings after his mates had given him a 4-1 lead early. As he typically does, he was throwing strikes (51 of 80 pitches), but he was not locating within the zone resulting in too many solid hits.

Buehrle struck out two and walked one while holding the Orioles to three runs on eight hits over six innings to improve to 3-0 on the season.
For the third time this season, the Toronto offense has provided Buehrle with a ton of run support. True to form, Buehrle threw 59 of his 98 pitches for strikes Tuesday, while generating just six swinging strikes. He'll make his second start of the week Sunday against the Rays at Tropicana Field.

Buehrle (2-0) gave up three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings in Wednesday's win over Tampa Bay.
That's two quality starts and not a lot of fantasy excitement from Buehrle so far, which is pretty much what you can expect from him. Buehrle won't hurt you in ERA overall, but his strikeouts and WHIP will not be assets.

Buehrle gave up two runs on eight hits over six innings in a winning effort over the Orioles on Friday.
The victory was the 200th of his career. He needed just 84 pitches (50 strikes) to record 18 outs Friday, and it was a very typical start for the veteran left-hander. Buehrle's next start lines up for Wednesday at Rogers Centre against the Rays.

Buehrle pitched 3.1 shutout innings on Thursday, giving up two hits while striking out two against the Rays.
It's difficult to read too much into Grapefruit League statistics; however, it's good to see Buehrle be as efficient as he was. Buehrle has pitched at least 200 innings in 14 straight seasons and with the injury to Marcus Stroman that will hold him out this season, getting quality performances out of Buehrle and R.A. Dickey will be even more important.

Buehrle spun eight shutout innings, allowing three hits while walking one and striking out 10 in a 1-0 win over Seattle on Wednesday night.
Buehrle (13-10, 3.39 ERA) saved his best for last as he baffled the Mariners for eight-plus innings in his final 2014 outing. It pushed his innings pitched total to 202 - the 14th consecutive season he has eclipsed 200 innings, and he logged double-digit strikeouts for the first time since his first start of the year. He may not be a huge fantasy asset, but he is a class act, and he is building upon a very solid career.

Buehrle was not very impressive during six innings versus the Yankees on Friday night, as he gave up five earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three.
Buehrle has been anything but consistent here in the second half of 2014. After an outstanding first three months of the season earned him a fifth-career All-Star selection, the veteran southpaw has posted an uninspiring 5.19 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over a dozen starts since the break. Buehrle will likely finish up his 15th MLB campaign Wednesday against the Mariners.

Buehrle gave up nine hits and four earned runs over six innings in Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.
Buehrle, who struck out one and walked one, has gone at least six innings in five straight starts. He'll take a 3.40 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 106:43 K:BB ratio into Friday's start at Yankee Stadium.
Fri Sep 12 201417:12Buehrle's next start moved up to Sunday against Rays
Buehrle's next start has been moved up to Sunday against the Rays, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Buehrle has had the Rays' number this season, with just eight earned runs and 34 hits allowed over 34.2 innings, so the Blue Jays will move him up and push Marcus Stroman back to Monday. Thanks to Thursday's off day, Buehrle will still be on normal rest.
Thu Sep 11 201410:06Buehrle could move up to start Sunday against Rays
Buehrle could move up to start Sunday against the Rays, the Associated Press reports.
With an off-day in the schedule, the Jays have the flexibility of moving Marcus Stroman back if desired. Stroman has been knocked around in his two starts against the Rays, while Buehrle has gone 2-0 with a 2.08 in five starts against Tampa Bay, which may be enough for manager John Gibbons to make the switch.

Buehrle (11-9) earned the win against the Cubs on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on 10 hits while fanning three and not issuing a walk over seven innings.
This was the veteran's first W since July 30 against the Red Sox (seven starts prior). Buehrle's walks have been down throughout that span, however, as he's impressively dished out just three free passes over his last 36 innings, something that has kept his WHIP in check by offsetting the 46 hits allowed during that time. He may have another tough time missing bats in his next start against first-place Baltimore on Monday.
Thu Sep 4 201422:18Buehrle strong in Thursday's start at Tampa Bay, tossing eight s...
Buehrle was strong in Thursday's start at Tampa Bay, tossing eight scoreless innings with four strikeouts. He scattered five singles and issued just one walk, recording a no-decision.
Buehrle clearly pitched well enough to win, but was matched by opposing starter Jake Odorizzi. Other than Buehrle's nice outing Thursday, he has been mediocre in his last 10 starts, posting a 5.75 ERA in 51.2 innings. Going back even further, Buehrle has just two wins in his last 17 outings, while making only eight quality starts during that period. Still, he normally chews up some innings and plays for a potential playoff team, so he could get back on track in the wins department over the final three weeks. He'll make just one start next week, and that will be at home against the Cubs.

Buehrle allowed four runs on seven hits, walking one and striking out four over six-plus innings of a 6-3 loss to the Yankees on Friday night.
Buehrle (11-9, 3.50 ERA) was on auto-pilot through six innings, but things disintegrated in the seventh when the Yankees notched five runs. It was the 11th consecutive loss to the Yankees for Buehrle and dropped his career record against them to a dismal 1-13. He'll hope for a better outcome when he takes on Tampa Bay on the road next time out.

Buehrle struck out two and walked one while giving up three runs on eight hits over 6.1 innings against the Rays on Saturday.
The Jays eventually won the game in 10 innings, but it was finished under protest. Regardless of whether that bid is a success for the Rays, Buehrle won't factor in the decision for Saturday's game. The quality start was Buehrle's first since July 30, and he'll look to keep the Yankees quiet in his next start Friday.
Sun Aug 10 201423:37Buehrle lasted only 3.1 innings Sunday against Tigers, giving up...
Buehrle lasted only 3.1 innings Sunday against the Tigers, giving up five runs (but just two earned) on nine hits, striking out four while walking none.
While this outing didn't kill Buehrle's ERA, thanks to three unearned runs after Jose Reyes's error in the first, he didn't pitch well for the third time in his last four outings. It's hard to invest much trust in Buehrle at this juncture.
