The Kansas City Royals continue their impressive performance in Major League Baseball, extending their winning streak to five games after a 2-1 victory against the Chicago White Sox. Michael Wacha led the way with a masterful seven-inning outing, allowing just three hits and earning praise from teammates. The Royals’ exceptional pitching has been instrumental in their recent success, as they’ve allowed three runs or fewer in 14 of the last 17 games, showcasing a 2.16 ERA during this stretch. With a season record of 22-16, they are presently tied for the most wins in the American League.
It's unbelievable," Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. said of the team's pitching after the game. "And I'll keep saying it that we've got pretty much five aces, five horses out there throwing.
Wacha became the latest in a string of KC starters looking to outdo each other with standout efforts. His seven scoreless innings needed just 84 pitches, as he dropped his season ERA to 2.98.
Somebody goes out there and shoves, we want to back it up with another one and keep that momentum on our side," Wacha said.
It fires you up, really," Witt said of the team's rotation. "You've just got to do your job (as hitters), get a couple runs, and then we're in a good spot.
