Jurrjens gives up five runs to Nats: Braves SP Jair Jurrjens lost a battle of hot rookies Saturday against John Lannan and the Nationals, allowing eight hits and five runs in 6 1/3 innings. He issued one walk and recorded five strikeouts. Jurrjens said he was rusty after the All-Star break but added "that's just excuses. I didn't have my great stuff today, and I didn't make my pitches when I needed to make pitches," he said. "They hit balls right in the perfect spot." (Updated 07/20/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Jurrjens retired 11 of 12 batters before leaving the game in the Nationals' two-run seventh. Ryan Langerhans led off with a double and scored on the triple to right by Willie Harris, knocking Jurrjens out of the game. He still has a 3.22 ERA and looks even more consistent than ace Tim Hudson at times. Consider him a must-start in all Fantasy leagues. His next start is scheduled for Friday at Philadelphia.
