Melendez's 2-run homer backs Wacha in Royals' 3-0 shutout over White Sox
KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Michael Wacha threw seven innings of two-hit ball and MJ Melendez launched a two-run homer as the Kansas City Royals beat the slumping Chicago White Sox 3-0 on Saturday night.Wacha struck out eight, walked one and allowed just one runner past first base. Royals pitchers have eight quality starts, most in the majors.'I felt like we had a good mix going,' Wacha said. 'We were getting ahead and staying on the attack mode.
'After the game, White Sox manager Pedro Grifol acknowledged he should have asked for a crew chief review on whether the ball hit the wall first, which would have made it a ground-rule double.'From our angle it looked like the ball hit the glove and went out,' Grifol said. 'So, I didn't go out there. But after looking at it, I should have.'Maikel Garcia knocked in another run with an infield single as Kansas City batted around in the inning.
