On Sunday afternoon, Michael Wacha took the mound in Kansas City with a chance at a sweep over the Minnesota Twins. Pitching to a tight strike zone from home plate umpire Shane Livensparger, Wacha threw a gem, punching out seven Twins batters across seven scoreless innings. The Royals completed the sweep — an emphatic victory against a division rival that pushes the Royals 2.5 games ahead of the Twins in the postseason race and still just three games behind Cleveland at the top of the AL Central. The sweep was fueled by starting pitching, with Cole Ragans, Alec Marsh, and Wacha combining for 18 innings with just two runs allowed.
How should the Royals set their postseason rotation?
