Volquez still seeking first win as Marlins host Rays

MIAMI -- Edinson Volquez, signed in the offseason to replace the late Jose Fernandez as the ace of the Miami Marlins rotation, has yet to produce a win in five attempts.

Volquez (0-3, 4.44 ERA) hasn't been sharp, but he will get another chance on Tuesday night when the Marlins play host to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Right-hander Alex Cobb (1-2, 4.66) will start for the Rays.

Perhaps Volquez should rely on his team's excellent defense as Miami (11-13) will try to even the series with Tampa Bay (13-14) at one game apiece.
