Royals' Edinson Volquez learns of father's death after start

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- It was an eerie feeling, keeping a secret from the man pitching the biggest game of the season for your club, and not quite sure you were doing the right thing.
The national TV audience knew it. Most of the fans atKauffman Stadium knew it. The Kansas City Royals’ management, and even some of their players, knew it.
Edinson Volquez didn’t know a thing.
He just knew that he was upset being taken out of Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday night, and when he walked into the Royals’ clubhouse in the seventh inning -- seven full inning before the Royals would win, 5-4, in 14 innings over the New York Mets -- where Royals GM Dayton Moore was awaiting him.
