Final
Volquez aims for ninth win for Reds
Jun 9, 2008 - 1:42 PM Cincinnati (30-34) at Florida (34-28) 7:10 pm EDTMIAMI (Ticker) -- Edinson Volquez goes in search of his ninth win on Monday when the Cincinnati Reds complete their four-game series against the Florida Marlins.
As one of the biggest surprises for Cincinnati this season, Volquez (8-2, 1.32 ERA) will try to defeat the Marlins for the season straight time. The righthander held them to just one run in six innings of a 5-3 home victory on May 13.
The 25-year-old Volquez was outstanding in his most recent trip to the hill, blanking Philadelphia over seven frames in a 2-0 win on Wednesday.
Mark Hendrickson (7-3, 5.33) counters for the Marlins, who got two homers from Hanley Ramirez and three RBI from Dan Uggla in Sunday's 9-2 victory. It was the second straight win and fourth in the last 12 games for Florida.
Hendrickson has dropped his last two starts - including Wednesday's 6-4 loss at Atlanta. He has surrendered seven or more hits in each of his last three outings.
The towering lefthander gave up four runs and eight hits in five innings during a setback at Cincinnati on May 13. He is 0-2 through five career starts vs. the Reds.
