Game 5 pitching preview: Edinson Volquez versus Matt Harvey

NEW YORK -- The Kansas City Royals hold a 3 games to 1 lead over the New York Mets as we head to Game 5. We'll break down the starting pitchers but there's a good chance this game -- and season -- comes down to what happens with the bullpens. In the postseason, the Royals have scored 39 runs in the first through sixth innings and, remarkably, 44 runs from the seventh inning on. That's how the Royals have rallied from deficits of at least two runs in six different wins, a postseason record. It's why they're 5-5 when trailing after five innings after going 11-53 in the regular season.
