Michael Wacha threw 105 pitches over seven and two-thirds and left with the score tied, which is the cruelest thing a start that good can do to a man. Daniel Lynch IV faced three hitters, gave up three singles — the last one to Jacob Gonzalez on a 94.1 mph fastball at 3-2 — and Colson Montgomery crossed the plate. Grant Taylor threw two perfect innings with four strikeouts for Chicago, and Kansas City's two errors and six runners left on base are what a one-run loss looks like from the inside. The Royals had six hits and scored once.
