Chris Volstad allowed just an unearned run over seven innings Thursday in a win over the A's. Volstad win despite not recording a strikeout in the game. He's at his best when he's getting grounders, and he did that today, with 14 of his outs coming on the ground. It's the left-handed power hitters that tend to carve up Volstad, and the A's just don't have much in that department.
