He slipped to 1-3, blowing his third save in 19 opportunities. His ERA has increased from 1.77 to 3.91, so he could be skating on a little bit of thin ice here.

Clay Buchholz allowed just one earned run, four hits and two walks with three strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Sunday.
