The Aflac question contains a riddle ...
Volquez has a DEVASTATING change-up
Blum K's. Two outs.
Ks the side...and makes them look stupid while doing it
Pence K's. Volquez K's the side. 2-1 Reds after four innings.

Hairston pops out. Nice play by Berkman. Keppinger is 3-for-3 after another single.
Bruce is now 1-for-12 with 8 K's against Wandy Rodriguez. Some guys just have your number. I remember Scott Sullivan used to own Jeff Bagwell.
Volquez has thrown a lot this year, it's a legitimate concern that he might be out of gas. Doesn't appear so tonight, but it's still early.
Meanwhile, speaking of pitch counts, Johan Santana has 125 through 8 innings. Mets pen has struggled, team desperately needs a win, no way he's coming out despite a big lead. Great pitcher.
