Bako begins the 5th with a single. And of course Volquez will hit for himself. We have expanded rosters but who cares, we'll continue to push our young starter.

Volquez should not be at the plate right now.
Volquez will have games like this and they take him out so soon every game in which he struggles, he won't be a viable MLB pitcher.

It's never happened.Volquez will have games like this and they take him out so soon every game in which he struggles, he won't be a viable MLB pitcher.
He's most likely pitching like this because of his heavy workload. This is the first time he's ever thrown this many innings in his career, plus he's coming off three straight games in which he threw 117+ pitches. With only a handful of games left the Reds need to take it easy on him. For the first time in the longtime the Reds actually have some good young pitching, I'd hate to see it ruined.

Volquez is up to 196 strikeouts this season.
Volquez now at 100 pitches. Time for some offense.

Rough night for Bruce.
Bruce still has plenty to learn.
