The first time through the rotation was not particularly kind to Michael Wacha. Certainly, he could have been worse, but only getting four innings out of your starter is rarely a recipe for success, and the Royals ended up losing that game when the bullpen imploded behind him. Fortunately, he has something of an example to pull from. Cole Ragans and Seth Lugo didn’t have great season debuts, either, but both pitched much better their second time out.
