Royals still expect Volquez to start Game 5

"I've got to sit down and talk to Eddie," Yost said. "But we're still planning on him pitching tomorrow."

Volquez's father, Daniel, died on Tuesday, at age 63, due to complications from a heart condition. A couple of hours later, Volquez took the mound for Game 1 of the World Series, pitching six innings of three-run ball without knowing about his father. Volquez's wife asked the Royals to not tell him until after he finished his start.
