12 Ailing Volquez stays on feat, dives into history
3/6/17
Edinson Volquez said he thought he broke his ankle on the first play of the game, a collision at first base, but the righty, who pitched with a heavy heart on what would've been his late friend Yordano Ventura's 26th birthday, stayed in and faced the minimum in the sixth no-hitter in Marlins history. Volquez walked two and needed just 98 pitches, all while hobbling between innings. Justin Bour plated two, including one in a two-run eighth. Volquez struck out the side after that.
