TORONTO (AP) — Kansas Royals pitcher Edinson Volquez says teammate Johnny Cueto believes the Toronto Blue Jays were stealing signs in their Game 3 victory Monday night in the American League Championship Series.
Volquez, Kansas City’s Game 5 starter, says Cueto thought the Blue Jays were having signs relayed to them from center field during an 11-8 win. Cueto was chased with no outs in the third inning, having allowed eight runs and six hits.
Volquez says: “I think he said last night, they got a guy in center field. You see how hard it is. He looks to center field and he sees somebody do this or do that. It’s really hard to do that.”
