Sean Manaea needed 97 pitches to get through seven innings, and that efficiency was the margin. Michael Wacha threw 104 in four and two-thirds and was still out there when the fifth inning took the game from him: Tyrone Taylor homered, Bo Bichette sent a sacrifice fly to center, and Carson Benge hit a single at 106.9 mph that Lane Thomas threw away, letting two runs score and sending Benge to third. Thomas had homered in the first to give Kansas City its lead. Wacha left with six earned against his name. Both clubs scored in the seventh — KC one, New York one — and the gap stayed at four.
