Kansas City Royals news: This 2026 Royals season is over

Kansas City starting pitcher Michael Wacha accomplished a primary career milestone this season by crossing the two-hundred-inning threshold, an achievement he acknowledged as deeply meaningful despite surrendering six runs, only two of which were earned, during an eleven-to-five loss against the Guardians. Manager Matt Quatraro praised the veteran right-hander for his durability through physical strain and unwavering competitiveness across the schedule.
