Michael Wacha Shuts Out White Sox Over Seven Innings in Royals Win

Kansas City Royals pitcher Michael Wacha delivered his best performance of the season by throwing seven shutout innings against the Chicago White Sox, allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out five. This outing marked Wacha's third consecutive quality start and his second scoreless game during this stretch, helping the Royals secure a 2-1 win. Wacha's recent success reflects improved pitching efficiency and pitch mix, and he has now posted a 2.98 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across eight starts this season. Bobby Witt Jr.'s two-run homer provided just enough support as the Royals continued their dominance over the White Sox at home. Kansas City has now won five straight games and 14 of their last 16, while the White Sox continue to struggle on the road. Royals manager Matt Quatraro praised Wacha's performance and decision-making on the mound, highlighting the team's strong recent form.
