Why is he still in there?

There's no need to burn bullpen arms. Volantis wouldn't pitch again in the regional, unless he were needed on Monday in a winner-take-all regional final.

[Jeff Howe]

Double for A-Rod on a hard-hit ball down the right-field line that just lands fair.

[Roy Hinojosa]

Breaking out this Weller SB to match the sky and that beautiful burnt orange.

[Jeff Howe]

Borba ALMOST gets an oppo-taco.

It's a flyout to the warning track in right. Becerra, who walked earlier in the inning, scores, making it 14-0.

Another out for Borba at least he drove in a run so now he can have something positive on his stat sheet for the game.

Yeah I get the ‘don’t burn the bullpen’ angle- totally fair. I was just surprised they’re still running him out there up 13–0. At some point it stops being about saving arms and starts being about not showing the entire regional your Friday guy for 7+ innings in a blowout. But hey, if he’s not pitching again this weekend, I guess they’re fine letting him finish the job

Gumbo is in left field for Pack for the bottom of the sixth.

Pack has gone back to the locker room, presumably to get fluids.

That's a SportsCenter Top 10!

What a catch by Pendergrass!

His pitch count has past the point of being able to pitch the rest of the weekend so save your arms for tomorrow and possibly Monday. With Ruger and his shoulder tomorrow might be a shorter outing for him. Having all the pen arms available would be a good thing.

A nice defensive play by Becerra on a ball back up the middle helps Volantis put together a 1-2-3 sixth.

At 84 pitches, that should be it for Volantis.

[JMarquette]

Up 15-0, Pendergrass puts his body on the line to make an excellent play. I love that.

I thought that was for sure getting down for a hit. Maybe the catch of the year.

And Volantis has thrown 84 relatively low-stress pitches.
