Volquez threw the sixth no-hitter in Marlins history, facing the minimum 27 batters on Saturday and beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-0. “And his stuff was really, really good.”Nick Ahmed — who broke up a no-hit bid by Milwaukee’s Chase Anderson in the eighth inning one week earlier — led off the ninth for Arizona and struck out on four pitches. Volquez threw a one-hitter for San Diego against Houston in 2012 — the only blemish that night coming on a fourth-inning infield single by the Astros’ Matt Downs. The Marlins are his seventh franchise in his 13 big league seasons, and he came into Saturday with just a 90-86 career record. In 2015, Volquez helped Kansas City win the World Series crown and started Game 1 on the same day his father died.
