Volstad struggles but Marlins beat Twins 5-4
JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — Chris Volstad hurt his chances at solidifying a spot in the Marlins’ rotation, allowing four runs in 2 1-3 innings in Florida’s 5-4 victory over the Twins on Monday.
Volstad allowed five hits and four walks. He has given up eight runs on 11 hits and five walks in his last two outings.
‘‘The first few innings were good. After that a couple of pitches were up, the breaking stuff was not quite as good,’’ Volstad said. ‘‘I just need to finish it a little more.
‘‘That’s what happened last outing. I need to keep remembering to finish everything.’’
The right-hander was one of six candidates for three spots in the Marlins’ rotation behind Josh Johnson and Ricky Nolasco. One of those spots, though, appears filled by Anibal Sanchez after his four scoreless innings against the Mets on Sunday.
‘‘Anibal has looked really good and that’s a good sign,’’ manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
