Witt Jr.'s inside-the-park spark lifts Royals to 5-1 win as Wacha shines
Michael Wacha tossed seven scoreless innings and Kansas City edged Detroit 5-1, highlighted by Bobby Witt Jr.’s inside-the-park homer on the first pitch of his at-bat. The Royals added five runs on six hits with timely baserunning, and Strahm followed by a clean eighth while Cruz sealed the win in the ninth. The victory extends KC’s hot stretch, boosts their Wild Card standing, and sets up a potential Sunday night series sweep.
