Tempers flared and plenty of words were exchanged during Sunday’s game between the Royals and Blue Jays. Edinson Volquez and Josh Donaldson were squarely in the middle of it.
In the first inning, Volquez hit Donaldson with a pitch, which did not sit well with the Jays third baseman and he let Volquez know about it on the way to first base. In the third inning, a pitch from Volquez sailed up and in towards the head area of Donaldson, causing him to duck out of the way. The two again had words for each other. In the seventh inning, Ryan Madson threw a pitch that once again caused Donaldson to back out of the way.
