And he was dealing!
Another good start, but the Royals only give him about 1.55 runs per game this year.
Unfortunately a no decision for a good outing. Left the game with the team in the lead
When the chips are down, the buffalo move on
Wacha currently pitching in career appearance #300. KC is up 5-1 with two outs in the bottom of the 3rd at Toronto.
Wacha having an excellent outing. Gave up an early solo HR to Vlad Guerrero, Jr, but that's really been about it. Don't know if he's done or not. No one is talking to him in the dugout, so maybe he'll go back out.
KC 5 6 0
Tor 1 3 0
-----------------
End 7
EDIT - Michael gave up 1 run and 4 hits in 8 innings. Threw a season-high 100 pitches and was absolutely dominant.

This is the Rip Collins biography that you need to read:
Especially when you get to this part: https://sabr.org/bioproj/person/rip-collins/
Quote:
That August, a story came out that Mrs. Wilma Place of Detroit thought she had been married to Collins for three years, only to find out she had not been. Wilma was married in Boston in 1922 and became Mrs. Warren Collins. They moved to Detroit, and her husband told her he needed to leave the Red Sox and change his name to Charles Place, an alias to protect him against a fan who was angry because he'd thrown a bat at the man. Then Charles disappeared in January, leaving behind Charles Jr. as well, but writing Wilma from time to time that he hadn't been able to hook on with another team. She had never followed baseball, so she had no idea that the real Warren Collins had been traded to Detroit and was playing right there in the city.
