KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Edinson Volquez was the Kansas City Royals opening day starter this season and an important piece of the rotation during last years World Series run, starting five postseason games.Saturdays start -- a no decision in a 6-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians -- may have been his last with the defending champs.Volquez finished the season winless in his final seven starts. He was charged with three runs, five hits, four walks and a hit batter over five innings. The right-hander is eligible for free agency after the season and could pitch for somebody else in 2017.I hope not, Volquez said. You have to wait until the World Series and see what happens.Volquez went 0-1 with a 6.48 ERA in eight home starts after the All-Star break and finished with 10-11 record and 5.37 ERA. He allowed 217 hits, the second highest total in the AL.I think I was kind of struggling all year, Volquez said. It was one of those years. Everything doesnt go your way.Francisco Lindor hit a two-out two-run double during an eighth-inning rally, helping the Indians beat Kansas City.All three Indians runs in the eighth were unearned after second baseman Whit Merrifields error on pinch-hitter Abraham Almontes grounder, which allowed Rajai Davis to score with one out.It was right at me but the way it looked, it was going to be a little bit to my right, Merrifield said. I took a little bit of a false step and it cost meRookie left-hander Matt Strahm (2-2) issued Davis a leadoff walk and Davis stole second, his AL-leading 43rd steal.Kevin McCarthy replaced Strahm and walked the bases loaded before Lindors double over third base.While the Royals struck out 15 times, including Alex Gordon four times, Kansas City pitchers walked eight.Walks killed us, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Four runs scored off of walks. That got us a little bit.Mike Clevinger (3-3) won for the AL Central champs by retiring the only two batters he faced. Cody Allen worked the ninth for his 31st save in 34 opportunities.Tyler Naquin singled home Coco Crisp in the second for the Indians first run. Lonnie Chisenhall tripled in the third and scored on Edinson Volquezs wild pitch. Chisenhalls sacrifice fly in the fifth scored Lindor, putting the Indians up 3-1.Trevor Bauer yielded two runs in the sixth on successive doubles by Kendrys Morales and Paulo Orlando to lead off and Alcides Escobars RBI single. Merrifields two-out single in the third scored Drew Butera for the first run off Bauer.The Indians named Bauer the starter for their postseason opener Thursday against the Boston Red Sox.Bauer threw 96 pitches, tuning up for the postseason by striking out nine over six innings of three-run ball.Cy Young Award candidate Corey Kluber will pitch Game 2 on Friday.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Madison Bumgarner is expected to be named to the National League All-Star team when the rosters for next weeks annual midseason classic are announced Tuesday.Bumgarner is a strong candidate to make the team. He will take a 9-4 record and 2.20 ERA into Tuesdays matchup with the Colorado Rockies.Then later in the day, San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy is expected to announce why his ace left-hander wont be playing next Tuesday in San Diego.Bochy hasnt disclosed his pitching plans for the clubs three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday through Sunday that will take the Giants into the All-Star break.One things for sure: Right-hander Albert Suarez wont be in the rotation.Suarez, who has been serving as Matt Cains injury replacement in the rotation, was demoted to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, an indication that either Cain will return from his strained right hamstring this week or the Giants will go with a four-man rotation through the weekend.Cains return isnt likely. Bochy has indicated hed like to see the veteran take his regular spot in the rotation following the All-Star break.Being that the Giants have a day off Thursday, a four-man rotation would put Bumgarner in line to pitch Sunday. That would make him ineligible to pitch in the All-Star Game.Bochy said many factors -- but not whether he makes the All-Star team -- will go into deciding if Bumgarner is called upon to start Sunday.Your priority is here, the veteran manager insisted. You want these guys to have a chance tto pitch in the (All-Star Game).dddddddddddd But youre here to win and maybe win a championship.You cant change your rotation around so they can pitch in it.The Rockies will counter with an All-Star candidate of their own Tuesday, right-hander Tyler Chatwood. He will be reinstated from the 15-day disabled list in order to make the start.Chatwood is 8-4 with a 3.15 ERA. Ten National Leaguers began play Monday with more wins, including Bumgarner and Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who is injured.Interestingly, Chatwood also is scheduled to pitch Sunday when the Rockies, who have seven games this week, conclude the first half at home against the Philadelphia Phillies.Colorado manager Walt Weiss has not announced what he would do if Chatwood were to get selected to the NL squad.Weiss has other more immediate concerns. His club recorded only six hits against six Giants pitchers in a 3-1 loss Monday after having been held to a total of two runs in three straight defeats to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a series that ended Sunday.I thought our approach was better, Weiss said of his offense in Mondays opener in San Francisco. We swung the bats better, but not well enough to put together a big inning.The Rockies welcomed shortstop Trevor Story back into the starting lineup Monday, but it didnt help.The rookie standout went 0-for-3, walking once and striking out for the 106th time this season.
