Royals send off Wainwright in a farewell full of fireworks, win 12-8

Adam Wainwright started his 404th game as a big league pitcher tonight, and likely his last in Kauffman Stadium. The Royals gave him the shortest start of his career. He went 1+ innings, but never recorded an out in the second leaving after giving up 8 runs, all earned. The Royals lineup feasted in innings one and two.

Garcia and Witt both singled to start the first. Salvy and Melendez then hit back to back doubles to drive both of them in, along with Perez. Then Olivares singled MJ home before Beaty hit into a double play to end the threat.
