Braves SP Javier Vazquez certainly pitched well enough to win
News: Braves SP Javier Vazquez certainly pitched well enough to win on Saturday against the Red Sox but got no help from the listless Atlanta offense, taking a 1-0 loss. Vazquez (5-7) struck out eight to claim the NL strikeout lead from San Francisco's Tim Lincecum (125-124), but a brief spurt of wildness in the sixth was costly. After retiring the first two Boston hitters, Vazquez issued back-to-back walks to Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz, the latter after getting ahead 0-2 in the count. Big Papi got the call on a breaking pitch that just missed the strike zone, then managed to check his swing on a 3-2 pitch that swerved inside, nearly hitting him. Kotsay, a former Brave filling in for Jason Bay, came through with a single to left, bringing home Youkilis with the game's only run. [...]
Vazquez's lack of run support continues
Javier Vazquez was excellent despite suffering a loss and dropping to 5-7 on Saturday, holding the Red Sox to just one run off six hits and three walks while striking out eight.
Our View: Vazquez passed Tim Lincecum and Justin Verlander for a one-strikeout lead atop the MLB strikeout rankings. Unfortunately, he's now gone seven-straight starts where he's received three or fewer runs of support, and Vazquez owners can do nothing but cross their fingers and hope this trend doesn't continue throughout the season.

Javier Vazquez looked great despite suffering his seventh loss
Javier Vazquez looked great despite suffering his seventh loss on Saturday, allowing an earned run on six hits and three walks in 7 2/3 innings of eight-strikeout ball against the Red Sox. The elite strikeout rate was maintained during his start, but Vazquez couldn't get the necessary run support to help him win his second in a row. Back to his strikeout dominance: His Major League-leading 125 strikeouts have set up a 10.6 K/9 rate that easily ranks as a career high. He's good to go July 3 at Nationals Park.
