Youngsters face off when Marlins take on Diamondbacks

Aug 23, 2008 - 10:23 AM Florida (66-63) at Arizona (67-61) 8:10 p.m. EDT

PHOENIX (Ticker) -- After a performance by the aged, youth will have its day when the Florida Marlins face the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Marlins rookie Chris Volstad, 21, duels against Diamondback 24-year-old Yusmeiro Petit.

Each will hope to equal the seven-inning, two-earned-run, 13-strikeout performance by 44-year-old Randy Johnson in a 5-4 Marlin win over the Diamondbacks in the series opener.

Volstad (4-2, 3.02) has been stellar on the road, going 3-0 in four appearances away from home, including three starts. The righthander has an 1.31 ERA, highlighted by six shutout innings against the Philadelphia Phillies on August 7.

The Marlins, who have lost six of nine, are six games behing the National League East-leading New York Mets (72-57).

Making his sixth start, Petit (2-3, 3.02) will look to build on his longest effort. In seven strong innings, the righthander allowed two runs and four hits, walking one and striking out five in an 11-5 win over the Houston Astros.
