Javier Vazquez held the Pirates to one run while striking out 12 in eight innings on Thursday but was handed a no-decision.
Vazquez was exceptional, allowing only two hits and walking none. His only mistake was a solo homer by Delwyn Young in the fifth. Vazquez was relieved by Rafael Soriano in the ninth inning of a 1-1 game. Soriano was shaky, surrendering two runs on three hits and a walk, and the Braves lost 3-1. Vazquez lowered his ERA to 3.31 to go with a tiny 1.03 WHIP. He's been one of fantasy's best starting pitchers.
