White Sox-Royals preview (Yahoo Sports)

Edinson Volquez was the Kansas City Royals' Opening Day starter and defeated the New York Mets. Volquez, who starts Tuesday against the visiting Chicago White Sox, has lost his past two starts at Texas and Tampa Bay, allowing 12 earned runs on 20 hits - including four home runs - and five walks, plus a hit batter, in 11 innings. The first inning has been rather troublesome for Volquez, who has an 8.61 ERA in the frame while opponents are hitting .301 against him.
