Royals Face Nationals With Wacha on the Line

The Royals’ homestand ended with a 2-4 record, including the loss of Vinnie Pasquantino to the IL for at least a month. Heading to D.C. for a series against a surging Nationals team, they’ll face pitching matchups that include a reunion for Foster Griffin — once drafted by the Royals — against his former club. Lane Thomas returns to D.C. looking to capitalize on his hot June, while Jac Caglianone steps into a bigger role as the team’s offensive spark, especially against lefties. Michael Wacha, struggling with a high ERA and no wins since May, is critical to their turnaround hopes as they head into a crucial stretch.
