White Sox SP Mark Buehrle could not hold a 4-2 lead Monday against the Angels and fell to 1-5 after Los Angeles won 10-7. Buehrle gave up eight runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings with six strikeouts. The big blow against Buehrle came in the fifth inning on Vladimir Guerrero's three-run homer.

Fantasy Analysis
The left-hander has allowed 14 earned runs over 11 1/3 innings in his last two starts, after a 2-0 loss at Toronto in which he gave up a pair of unearned runs through eight innings. He is 0-5 with a 5.26 ERA in his last six outings. Buehrle has just looked awful at times in 2008 and can't find reliable ground at this time. Perhaps larger mixed leagues owners should bench Buehrle if favorable matchups don't present themselves. At least until he can figure it out on the mound. His next scheduled start is for Saturday at San Francisco. (Updated 05/13/2008).
