Pirates' Volquez: 'We didn't play the way we wanted and we let the city down a little bit'
Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Edinson Volquez was decidedly despondent after his shaky performance in Wednesday's 8-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants in the National League wild-card game.
Volquez held the Giants scoreless through the first three innings, but things unraveled in the fourth when the 31-year-old surrendered a grand slam to shortstop Brandon Crawford.
Volquez, an impending free agent, was nevertheless buoyed by fans at PNC Park on Wednesday, though the mood darkened considerably after Crawford's slam.
