Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
MIAMI, June 23 (UPI) -- Juan Pierre hit a leadoff home run and Brad Penny teamed with three relievers on a four-hitter Wednesday night as Florida blanked Atlanta, 6-0.
It was Atlanta's eighth setback in 10 games.
Penny (7-5), who had not won since May 27 at Cincinnati, yielded four hits in six innings. He struck out seven and walking one. Billy Koch, Matt Perisho and Ben Howard worked one inning each to complete the Marlins' eighth shutout this season.
Penny had received just five runs of support in his three previous starts but Pierre quickly gave him a lead by sending John Thomson's fourth offering over the wall in right.
Hee Seop Choi began the second inning with a homer just inside the right foul pole before Jeff Conine extended the cushion to 5-0 with a three-run shot to left in the fourth.
Thomson (5-6) lasted just four innings, allowing five runs and five hits.
