Volquez (8-9) pitched six innings, allowing six runs (five earned), nine hits and two walks while striking out five Rangers in Friday's loss.

EDGE Analysis

Volquez's inconsistent season continued Friday, allowing four-plus runs for the ninth time in his 22 starts this season. After beginning the year with three straight wins, Volquez has put consecutive wins together just once since April 21. His 4.56 ERA and 1.39 WHIP is hardly what owners bought in for this year. The righty will look to rebound in his next start Wednesday against the Rays.
