Volquez throws no-hitter

By Tim Reynolds

MIAMI — Edinson
Volquez’s day was nearly
over after three pitches.
And he strongly consid-
ered leaving the game
after five innings because
of sharp ankle pain.
A couple hours later,
nothing was hurting.
He stuck around —
and pitched the game of
his life.
Volquez threw the
sixth no-hitter in Mar-
lins history, facing the
minimum 27 batters on
hit the Diamondbacks
got. Luckily for Volquez,
body blows don’t show
up in the scorebook.
“I have faith in God,”
Fuentes said. “And if
there was a plan for
Volquez, today was his
day.”
The 33-year-old
righty was one of the
pitchers the Marlins
brought in this past off-
season in part to fill the
void caused by the death

“When I passed the
seventh, I said, ‘I’m
going to go for it,”’
Volquez said. “And I got
it.”
It’s the first no-hitter
in the majors since Jake
Arrieta did it for the
Cubs on April 21, 2016,
at Cincinnati, and the
first time Arizona was
no-hit since the Marlins’

“I thought I broke my

Alas, that was the only

Saturday.
So was Yordano
Ventura, the Kansas
City pitcher who was
killed in a car crash in the
Dominican Republic in
January. Saturday would
have been Ventura’s
26th birthday. He and
Volquez were not just
countrymen, but close
friends.
