8/14/12:
Volstad (0-9) lasted just five innings, allowing eight hits and four runs in his latest bid for his first big league win since July 10, 2011. He hasn't won in his last 23 starts and is approaching the major league record of 28 held by Cliff Curtis, Matt Keough and Jo-Jo Reyes.
''There was nothing real crisp going on. Even the balls that were hit were hit hard,'' Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. ''He didn't have command of his fastball or have quite the sink that he's had the last couple of outings.''
Volstad fell to 0-14 with a 5.51 ERA during his winless skid.
