VandenHurk throws five hitless innings: Rick VandenHurk and three relievers combined on a one-hitter to help the Florida Marlins beat the Atlanta Braves 4-0 Tuesday night. VandenHurk (1-1), recalled Monday from Double-A Carolina, pitched five hitless innings for his first win since last Aug. 23. He walked five and left the game after throwing 94 pitches. The one-hit performance was the best by Florida since Anibal Sanchez threw a no-hitter against Arizona on Sept. 6, 2006. The one-hitter was the ninth for the Marlins, and they've thrown four no-hitters. (Updated 07/22/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
With the game scoreless, VandenHurk got into a jam when he walked three in a row to start the fourth inning. He struck out Jeff Francoeur and Kelly Johnson, and Mark Kotsay popped out. VandenHurk was sent to the minors in early April after giving up seven runs in 5 1/3 innings in his first two starts of the season. He was recalled to replace left-hander Andrew Miller, who was placed on the disabled list last week because of a sore knee. VandenHurk lowered his ERA to 6.10, but needs a few more good starts to be trusted outside of NL-only Fantasy leagues. His next scheduled start is for Sunday against the Cubs. (Updated 07/22/2008).
