The Nationals then played a bit of small ball in the fifth, eventually tallying four singles en route to three runs scored. Following four quality starts in his previous five nods, Volquez failed to complete six innings for the fourth time in nine starts this season, continuing an up-and-down campaign. Tuesday, he'll look to turn around his success versus St. Louis, against whom he holds a 2-4 record, 5.32 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 36 strikeouts in 44 career innings.","date":"Fri May 17"},"fullName":"Edinson Volquez","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"The move from hitting-friendly Great American Ball Park to pitching-friendly Petco Park agreed with Volquez, as a sharp decrease in homers led to a drop in ERA from 5.71 in '11 to 4.14 last season. His other peripherals were basically the same. Unfortunately, Petco Park is going to be a bit more hitter-friendly this season, with fences that are both closer and shorter. Volquez's walk rate is well-above league average, so he stands to be hurt more than others with the change. Until we have a better idea about how the park will play, Volquez is best stashed on reserve. His walk rate makes him a very risky start on the road.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":2.3,"playerRater15DAY":1.2,"positionRank":138}
