Will Warren<\/a>. Wacha has continued to pitch like himself \u2013 just reliable and steady. He\u2019s had four quality starts in a row; in fact, 8 of his 10 starts have been quality starts. He started with four in a row, had two blips, and now has another four in a row. I\u2019m hoping we can count on that today against the Yankees.<\/p>\nWarren\u2019s first full season was last year, and he has followed it up well so far this year. He\u2019s improved the FIP metrics \u2013 strikeout rate, walk rate, and home run rate. It\u2019s a good pitching matchup today.<\/p>\n
The game starts at 2:40pm US Central. It is a nationally-televised game on ESPN. You can also listen on 96.5 The Fan or the Royals Radio Network.<\/p>\n
