56 Mark Buehrle, SP

Blue Jays starter Mark Buehrle kept Toronto in the game all afternoon at home Wednesday against Jeremy Hellickson and the Tampa Bay Rays. 

Buehrle and Hellickson were deadlocked 2-2 when Buehrle left the game after 109 pitches and seven innings. Buehrle allowed four hits and two walks with six strikeouts. Both Rays' runs came on RBI singles in the third inning. 

Buehrle (1-3), who has a 5.90 ERA, hasn't had a win since April 15 against the White Sox but has been solid in two of his last three outings. Buehrle's next start is Monday against Atlanta. 

Blue Jays starting pitcher Mark Buehrle endured another rough outing as he was pegged with the loss Friday night against the Yankees.

Buehrle (1-3), who made his ninth start of the season, surrendered two runs through his first six innings before giving up three in the seventh. The left-hander was charged with five runs and six hits over six innings of work. He struck out four and walked three in a 5-0 defeat. He has gone 1-10 in 15 starts against the Yankees.

Buehrle has not won a decision since April 15. He is scheduled to take the hill Wednesday at home against the Rays. He allowed seven runs in six innings of work in his previous meeting against Tampa Bay on May 6.

Blue Jays starting pitcher Mark Buehrle rebounded from a disastrous outing his last time out with a solid game Saturday in Boston. After giving up seven runs over six innings in Tampa, Buehrle was able to hold the Red Sox to just one run over seven strong innings.

Buehrle allowed five hits and two walks over 105 pitches with five strikeouts for Toronto. Unfortunately for him, Darren Oliver gave up a one-run lead and Buehrle had to settle for a no-decision.

His ERA is still high at 6.19, but Toronto is hoping it gets more outings like this one out of Buehrle, who had allowed at least five earned runs in each of his previous three starts. The big thing for Buehrle Saturday was keeping the ball in the yard. He'd allowed eight homers over his previous three starts.

Buehrle makes his next appearance Friday on the road in the American League East when he heads to New York.
