Royals' Edinson Volquez: Picks up fifth win against Twins

Volquez (5-4) allowed four runs (two earned) on six hits and three walks with six strikeouts over 6.2 inning in Tuesday's win over the Twins.

Analysis:

Volquez has alternated quality starts and starts with four or more runs allowed going back to his fourth start of the season April 21 against Detroit. He was able to induce 13 swinging strikes and nine groundball outs against the Twins, but his control was rough all night, as he threw just 13 first-pitch strikes to 29 hitters. He was solid but inconsistent, much like his whole season has been thus far.
