| 7/18/24 | Deadspin | Michael Wacha, Royals try to keep rolling vs. White Sox. Kansas City Royals right-hander Michael Wacha is hoping the momentum he built ahead of the All-Star break carries over to the second half of the season.

Wacha still came away with the win, but he wasn't pleased with how he was attacking hitters. Source: https://deadspin.com/michael-wacha-royals-try-to-k... |
