KC Royals pitcher Edinson Volquez received an apology from ALCS Game 5 home plate umpire Dan Iassogna for a blown strike three call against Jose Bautista on Wednesday. The missed call led to Volquez walking Bautista to load the bases with no outs in the pivotal sixth inning of Game 5, which Toronto ended up winning 7-1.
Many Kansas City Royals fans on Twitter complained that Volquez was getting squeezed the entire inning, in which he hit one hitter and walked three to force in a run before KC manager Ned Yost called for reliever Kelvin Herrera.
