Wacha Shuts Down Rays, Royals Win

Michael Wacha dominated on the mound for the Royals, tossing seven innings and allowing just one run en route to his fifth win and 11th quality start. The offense chipped in with two runs, led by Lane Thomas and Carter Jensen — who extended his hitting streak to 13 games and is crushing it since early June. Wacha, a former Rays player, clearly had them rattled, especially against their right-handed bats, and locked down a key strikeout in the 7th. The bullpen held strong, with Schreiber surviving a shaky eighth thanks to Jensen’s stellar catch, and Lange sealing the win with his sixth save. The Royals snapped their road skid with a statement victory — and they’re back at it tonight with Luinder Avila facing Shane McClanahan.
