Nats need to be patient with Volstad.  The heat will also help wear him down sooner.  Once he tires just a bit, the sinker won't sink and he'll be sending hangers to the plate.  You can look at his day/night splits to see the impact heat has on him.

Wouldn't a sinker sink more when a pitcher is tired?
