Key Storylines
Pitching Matchup
Michael Wacha is 5–9 with a 3.38 ERA and he will take the mound for the Royals tonight. Wacha allowed just one run over eight innings in his last outing. He will look to continue his solid form against the Red Sox lineup.
Dustin May enters this game at 6–7 with a 4.85 ERA. He is set to make his Red Sox debut after being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers. May has a high strikeout rate but has struggled with control issues this season. This game will be his first appearance with Boston and he will look to make a good first impression with his new team.
Key Players
- Royals: Bobby Witt Jr. has been a consistent offensive contributor for the Royals. He leads the team in home runs and RBI. His performance will be crucial in providing run support for Wacha.

Final Thoughts
