Edinson Volquez spins seven scoreless for Miami

Miami Marlins pitcher Edinson Volquez dealt seven shutout innings on Thursday in a 7-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

What It Means:

Volquez was coming off a no-hitter in his last start, and he continued to dazzle, holding Pittsburgh to 3 hits and 2 walks while fanning 8 in this one.

Despite his strong recent performances, Volquez has posted a 4.56 SIERA with a shaky 12.3 percent walk rate through 12 games in 2017. numberFire's models project him for a 4.24 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 119 innings pitched for the remainder of the season.
