  1. Close game but a wins a win! Thank you Wacha, Loftin, and Vinnie! Let’s take the series tmr, prove our worth.

  5. What a nice W, Wacha, Shriebs, Estevez, Loftin and Pasquatch getting us here.
    Let’s get the series tomorrow with Bubic on the mound!!

  7. This series could be season defining. Win it, get the bats working again, make a big run in the division.

  11. If you’re not done with baseball yet for the day. If you have the MiLB app you can watch Omaha/Cags for free.

  13. Joel “Are you as cold as me right now?”
    Nick “Yeah I’m glad I grabbed you”
    Joel “I’m not.”

    😂

  16. Loving that Wacha resigning more and more with every start.

    Take the series tomorrow

  17. if you don’t like that W

    then you don’t like 2025 royals baseball ^(I’m too old for this shit)

  19. Our pitching continues to be absolutely an elite force. Once the low-order bats heat up (and they will), we’re in good shape

  21. You’d think the Tigers are a bottom tier team with all of the doomers in the r/motorcitykitties post-game thread

  22. Wacha you are the fucking man, kept the 2nd best offense shut the fuck down all night. LFG tomorrow we take the series.

  26. They have to get Loftin and Waters going. If they do it will take the pressure off Pasquantino, Witt and Garcia.

  28. What a gem by Wacha. Vinnie helping out by capitalizing on Loftin’s Double was just the cherry on top. Royals already exceeded my expectations by winning 1 against the tigers. Let’s keep em rolling boys

  29. ![gif](giphy|26tPpQIyysIuM8gnK|downsized)

    Lo Cain approves and loves Wacha. He kept us in that game

  33. 3 for 3 this season, all were wacha starts too, man wish he got the win today his stuff was amazing.
