Delgado tossed 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball but took a no-decision in the Diamondbacks’ loss to the Pirates on Monday. Pittsburgh won the game on a walkoff homer by Andrew McCutchen in the bottom of the ninth inning. Archie Bradley served it up and took the loss. Delgado did his part, striking out eight batters and issuing zero walks while limiting the Bucs to five hits over 5 1/3 good frames. The right-hander should get another turn in the Arizona rotation, and it’ll probably come over the weekend in Miami. (Rotoworld)
Volquez finally notched his first win after holding the Phillies to one run and three hits over six innings on Monday. Volquez had been 0-7 with a 4.82 ERA. The four runs the Marlins scored tonight was their second-highest total in one of his starts this season. They’ve scored one or two runs in seven of his 10 outings.
