Nolasco whiffs career high in win: Ricky Nolasco was three outs away from the first complete game of his major-league career. The Marlins right-hander settled for a career-high 13 strikeouts and a win. Nolasco allowed three runs and four hits to win his first game since July 7. "All that matters is that we won," Nolasco said. Nolasco (11-6) didn't walk a batter before turning it over to Kevin Gregg. "I didn't want to let (Nolasco) run through that top of the lineup again, the meat of the lineup again, for the fourth time," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. (Updated 08/03/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Forget must-start status, Nolasco is approaching stud territory as a Fantasy SP, striking out nearly a batter per inning with 11 wins and an ERA just below 4.00. The Marlins provide him with plenty of runs too, so until he starts pitching poorly, keep him active in all Fantasy leagues. His next start is scheduled for Friday at the Mets. (Updated 08/03/2008).
