Volstad pitches 6 2-3 innings, Stanton hits 21st homer in Marlins’ 4-0 win over Brewers

Volstad helps Marlins blank Brewers 4-0

MILWAUKEE — Chris Volstad pitched into the seventh inning in another scoreless outing and rookie Mike Stanton hit his 21st homer, leading the Florida Marlins to a 4-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday night.

Volstad (11-9) allowed six hits and walked none before leaving with two out in the seventh, running his scoreless streak to 15 2-3 innings. The right-hander tossed a five-hitter in a 4-0 victory over St. Louis in his previous start and hasn’t allowed a run since he returned from a six-game suspension for his part in a brawl with the Washington Nationals on Sept. 1.

The loss clinched a second consecutive losing season for the Brewers (72-82) after they won the NL wild card in 2008.
