The Pittsburgh Pirates should have turned to the stands instead of their bullpen after starter Edinson Volquez was chased from the National League wild-card game. 

Volquez surrendered five runs over five innings in the Pirates' 8-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants. Five Pirates relievers allowed three more runs over four innings, while a young fan was left waiting for his turn to pitch.
