Well, this could be it. After the Mets booted last night’s game away, the Royals can clinch the World Series with a win tonight.
Edinson Volquez will be making a pretty emotional start, I’d think, having just returned from the Dominican Republic, where his father passed away moments before his Game One start (though he didn’t learn of the passing until after).
