The Royals won their second game in a row last night for the first time in two weeks. If they win again this afternoon, it will also be the first time they’d done such in two weeks. Funny how that works.
Michael Wacha will take the mound for the Royals. His last start against the Mariners did not go according to plan. As with so many of his starts this year, things started well with him allowing only a single run the first two times through the order, but during that third time through he allowed five hitters to reach base in two innings, and one of those outs was a Cal Raleigh sacrifice fly.
