Buehrle rebounds for fourth win : Marlins starter Mark Buehrle was able to overcome a rocky first inning to pick up his fourth win of the season during Monday night's contest against the Rockies. Buehrle, who was making his ninth start of the year, allowed four runs on five hits over 7 2/3 innings in the 7-4 win. All four runs he surrendered came in the first inning, including a two-run home run off the bat of Troy Tulowitzki. However, the left-hander was able to limit Colorado to just one hit over his final 6 2/3 innings of work before being pulled after throwing 111 pitches. He finished with two strikeouts and two walks, while improving to 2-2 on the season. (Updated 05/21/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Buehrle was knocked in around in the first inning literally. He not only surrendered four runs in the opening frame but also was hit by a pair of comebackers. However, the savvy veteran was able to settle down after that and reward Fantasy owners with a victory in his first start of Week 8 (May 21-27). Buehrle has now won three of his last four starts and has posted a 3.38 ERA over that stretch. He will now look to pick up his second win of the scoring period when he makes his next start, which is scheduled for Saturday against the Giants. Buehrle is 2-1 with a 3.57 ERA in four starts at Marlins Park this season. Continue to roll with the 33-year-old in the majority of mixed formats heading into his next outing. (Updated 05/21/2012).

After 11 consecutive seasons of double-digit victories and 200-plus innings for the White Sox, Mark Buehrle took his talents to South Beach in the offseason, signing with the new-look Marlins. So what are those talents? Probably not what you'd expect for a guy slated to make $58 million over the next four seasons. Buehrle throws a fastball in the mid-80s and is averaging 4.5 strikeouts per nine innings over the last three seasons. But what he offers the Marlins -- and Fantasy owners, for the matter -- is reliability. He's the definition of an innings eater, giving his team a solid seven more often than not, including 17 times in 31 starts last year. He doesn't do it the way Roy Halladay or even James Shields does it, but he does it well enough to win 15 games in the right situation, which he may have found with the Marlins. Not only did they retool their club in the offseason, signing Jose Reyes and Heath Bell in addition to Buehrle, but they play in the NL, where Buehrle is 24-6 with a 3.32 ERA in 40 career games. Because he pitches to contact, Buehrle's ceiling is limited, but you can't go wrong with him as your fifth or sixth starting pitcher in Fantasy. (Updated 1/4/12)
