Wacha's Rough Night Against Mets | Kansas City Royals News

Michael Wacha’s streak of reliability hit a snag as he struggled in a 7-3 loss to the Mets, his seventh defeat of the season. Despite early support from Lane Thomas and Bobby Witt Jr., Wacha was chased after 4 2/3 innings, charged with six runs. The Mets’ offense exploded for five in the fifth, capped by Juan Soto’s eighth-inning homer, while a costly error by Thomas hurt the Royals. Former Royals draft pick Sean Manaea dominated for New York, and the Mets clinched the series with a 40-54 record. The Royals now head to Baltimore for their final pre-All-Star break series, facing Luinder Avila against Brandon Young at 6:05 PM CT.
