Kansas City can avenge its lone loss after the All-Star break with a win on Wednesday night.
The Royals had a four-game winning streak to start the official second half of the regular season slate snapped by Arizona on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. It'll be right-hander Michael Wacha on the hill Wednesday, and the team hopes that he can provide its offense a chance to get to the Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson to avenge that loss and win the series.
Arizona scored three first-inning runs on Tuesday and got help courtesy of a good start by the returning Jordan Montgomery. The Royals never got going and lost the game 6-2. Star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. is in the midst of a quality stretch at the plate, almost hitting for the cycle Monday night before being plunked. First pitch Wednesday in Kansas City is set for 7:10 p.m. CT. Wacha and Nelson have identical records. Both are 7-6. As an added bonus, if the Royals win, they will have taken the series against the defending National League champions.Kansas City lineup: 1. Adam Frazier, left field; 2. Bobby Witt Jr., shortstop; 3.
