If the Kansas City Royals could have asked for something better than Johnny Cueto‘s performance on Wednesday night, they got it in spades yesterday from Edinson Volquez. He erased a chunk of his previous postseason records, where he had given up 12 runs in his previous 12 1/3 innings.
Hitting 97 on the gun, he was living on the edge all night, getting call after call from the home plate umpire, Tony Randazzo. When a pitcher is getting both, what were the Toronto batters thinking by not hacking all night at a pitch located there?
