Michael Wacha pitched 7⅔ innings with one run allowed against the White Sox but did not receive a decision in Kansas City's 2-1 loss. Bobby Witt Jr. acknowledged the lack of run support for Wacha, stating the Royals must improve their offensive performance. Wacha's current form includes a 3.31 ERA across 17 starts, but the Royals rank near the bottom of the AL in runs scored. As the trade deadline approaches, Wacha's value may attract interest from contending teams.
- •Wacha allowed just one run and struck out seven in his start.
- •Royals have scored two runs or fewer in several of Wacha's recent starts.
- •Witt Jr. leads the team with a.288 average and 28 stolen bases.
- •Kansas City is 15 games below.500 and has the worst run differential in the AL.
- •Wacha's solid stats might prompt trade interest from playoff-contending teams.
