Volquez (3-0) remained undefeated Thursday with seven shutout innings against the Tigers, striking out five while working around five hits and a walk.

EDGE Analysis

He's off to a startlingly good April in his second season as a Royal, having allowed only four runs in 24.2 innings with a 22:8 K:BB. That said, with a 1.43 career WHIP to his name and no full season better than 1.23, Volquez is a prime regression candidate. His 3.45 xFIP is more indicative than his 1.46 ERA of what we can expect from him moving forward.
