On Saturday, Edinson Volquez of the Marlins threw a no-hitter against the Diamondbacks. He did so on the mound that the late Jose Fernandez once stalked, and he did so on what would've been the late Yordano Ventura's 26th birthday. Volquez's historic afternoon was indeed a trending topic on social media. Here's a sampling of some of the reactions ...
Congrats to Volqy on his first career no hitter! Great Birthday present for Yordano Ventura some special moments happen in the Fish Tank ðð»

One of the gutsiest performances I've ever seen. And one of the most awesome moments of my career. Thank you, Volqy! https://t.co/1fCgoXbQMj

In his postgame TV interview, Ed Volquez dedicated his no-hitter to Jose Fernandez and Yordano Ventura, who would have turned 26 today: pic.twitter.com/KwGsILhqtT

Eddie Volquez was one of my favorite guys to cover. Congrats, Eddie, on the no-hitter. Yo would be giving you so much trouble right now.

It sucks that if Volquez throws a no-hitter, the highlights will forever be marred by the Diamondbacks' hideous road uniforms

There are 615 dogs at today's Marlins game. But if Volquez finishes this off, like 5,000 dogs tomorrow will say they were here.
