  • Former Dodgers star Walker Buehler, now with the Padres, suffered a significant loss in his recent start, allowing 7 runs in 5 innings.

  • His earned run average for the month has ballooned to 16.00, and the Padres lost the game 8-0.

Walker Buehler, once a star pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is enduring a difficult period since joining the San Diego Padres. In his latest outing on July 7, Buehler's start was cut short as he surrendered 7 runs over 5 innings, contributing to the Padres' 8-0 defeat against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

This performance marks a continuation of Buehler's struggles in July. Across his two starts this month, he has been hit hard, allowing a total of 5 home runs and a staggering 16 runs in just 9 innings pitched. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in his earned run average for the month, which now stands at an alarming 16.00.

The Padres' offense was unable to provide any support, being shut out for nine consecutive innings. Buehler's current ERA for the season has climbed to 5.07, reflecting a challenging season for the pitcher who was once considered a top talent in the league.
