Royals vs. Athletics game 29 thread
Royals trying to keep the winning streak going.

Winning five out of six, and scoring quite a lot of runs in the process, has really calmed the doom and gloom down. Now the team needs to keep going strong as they try to climb back out of the early hole that they dug for themselves. Tonight that means we will see Michael Wacha versus Luis Severino.
The two veterans have had very different seasons so far. Wacha has been great to start the season posting a 2. 51 ERA over his first five starts.
He is probably not going to stay quite that good according to the underlying metrics, but he is still looking like a solid starter for the club to depend on. Severino, on the other hand, has a 5. 17 ERA and is walking a little over 6 per 9 innings.
