Episode Details

Walker Buehler’s career-worst outing—nine earned runs in four innings—exposed deep command issues and lost velocity, as the Cubs punished every mistake with relentless contact.

With fastball control slipping and breaking balls too often in the zone, Buehler’s struggles were amplified by a focused Cubs lineup. While his resilience and past dominance suggest a comeback is inevitable, this start may demand more than just a quick reset—it’s a sobering moment in his comeback arc.
