Wacha leads Royals to victory over Guardians with dominant performance

Michael Wacha pitched a stellar game for the Kansas City Royals, leading them to a 3-0 win against the Cleveland Guardians on August 28, 2026. Wacha recorded ten strikeouts while allowing only four singles and issuing no walks, marking his best start of the season. The Royals' offense was limited but scored runs in the fifth inning from Bobby Witt Jr. and a grounder by Salvador Perez. The Royals managed to earn the win despite a shaky ninth inning from Steven Cruz, who struck out two batters to secure the victory. The two teams will face off again in the second game of their series later today.
