Nelson Velázquez put Kansas City ahead with a three-run homer in the seventh inning, and Michael Wacha worked six dominant innings as the Royals beat the Seattle Mariners 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Kansas City Royals starter Michael Wacha needed a bounce-back performance. Wacha, who entered Thursday with a 4.97 ERA in eight starts, was in a rough patch. In his last outing, Wacha was battered for seven runs against the Texas Rangers.
This article is part of our DraftKings MLB series. As usual, Thursday is a day off for several MLB teams, and a few teams play in the afternoon on "getaway day" before they move on to the next series. Lively likely won't keep up his 2.08 ERA, given he has a career 4.77 ERA, but he's off to a hot start in 2024, and the White Sox very much are not. Chicago is comfortably last in runs scored and team OPS, and I imagine it will end the season there.
