The two veteran right-handers will match up in the decisive contest of a three-game series on Wednesday afternoon in Kansas City, Mo. Wacha (2-0, 1.00 ERA), who will turn 35 in July, is second in the majors in ERA, trailing only Jose Soriano (0.28) of the Los Angeles Angels. Wacha has yielded just three runs, eight walks and 13 hits over 27 innings of his four starts. On Friday, Wacha gave up a two-run homer and two other hits over six innings in Kansas City’s 4-2 loss to the New York Yankees. “He’s difficult against any lineup,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro. Wacha is 3-3 with a 5.22 ERA in 13 career starts vs. Baltimore. He is 0-2 with a 5.29 ERA in three starts against the Orioles since joining Kansas City in December 2023. The Royals, however, have some momentum after ending an eight-game losing streak with Tuesday’s 6-5 win to even this series. “We believe in each other, and everyone in here,” star Bobby Witt Jr. told the Royals’ official website. “And that’s how we got to go about it. We got to get better every day and try to improve.” Michael Massey belted a tying solo homer in the eighth inning and Maikel Garcia scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the ninth for the Royals, who will bid to post back-to-back victories for the first time since April 10-11. “It’s a long season. … We have a great team,” Garcia told Royals.TV. “We just keep working, go out there and compete.” Garcia is 4-for-9 in the series, but he’s hitless in four career at-bats vs. Bassitt (0-2, 6.19 ERA). Bassitt allowed 10 runs over 6 1/3 innings while losing his first two starts as an Oriole this season. Since then, though, the former Toronto Blue Jays pitcher has yielded one earned run in 9 2/3 innings as Baltimore won his next two outings. Last Friday at Cleveland, Bassitt yielded four hits and four walks over five scoreless innings of the Orioles’ 6-4 victory. “Overall, good,” he said. “(I’m) able to just execute enough.” Bassitt is 1-2 with a 3.60 ERA in eight career starts against the Royals, with Witt and Vinnie Pasquantino going a combined 2-for-10 vs. him. Meanwhile, Massey’s homer served as the first hit and run allowed this season by Baltimore reliever Nico Garcia. Pete Alonso had two hits Tuesday but is batting just .211 to open his first season with the Orioles after seven seasons with the New York Mets. However, Alonso is 3-for-7 with a home vs. Wacha.

Michael Wacha has been the brightest light amid a dismal start to the season for the Kansas City Royals.

Meanwhile, Chris Bassitt might have found a needed rhythm following a rough beginning to his Baltimore Orioles’ tenure.

The two veteran right-handers will match up in the decisive contest of a three-game series on Wednesday afternoon in Kansas City, Mo.

Wacha (2-0, 1.00 ERA), who will turn 35 in July, is second in the majors in ERA, trailing only Jose Soriano (0.28) of the Los Angeles Angels. Wacha has yielded just three runs, eight walks and 13 hits over 27 innings of his four starts.

Wacha is 3-3 with a 5.22 ERA in 13 career starts vs. Baltimore. He is 0-2 with a 5.29 ERA in three starts against the Orioles since joining Kansas City in December 2023.

The Royals, however, have some momentum after ending an eight-game losing streak with Tuesday’s 6-5 win to even this series.

“We believe in each other, and everyone in here,” star Bobby Witt Jr. told the Royals’ official website. “And that’s how we got to go about it. We got to get better every day and try to improve.”

Michael Massey belted a tying solo homer in the eighth inning and Maikel Garcia scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the ninth for the Royals, who will bid to post back-to-back victories for the first time since April 10-11.

Garcia is 4-for-9 in the series, but he’s hitless in four career at-bats vs. Bassitt (0-2, 6.19 ERA).

Bassitt is 1-2 with a 3.60 ERA in eight career starts against the Royals, with Witt and Vinnie Pasquantino going a combined 2-for-10 vs. him.

Meanwhile, Massey’s homer served as the first hit and run allowed this season by Baltimore reliever Nico Garcia.

Pete Alonso had two hits Tuesday but is batting just .211 to open his first season with the Orioles after seven seasons with the New York Mets. However, Alonso is 3-for-7 with a home vs. Wacha.

Baltimore has lost six of its last eight games and is 2-4 on a seven-game road trip.

Fellow Orioles star Adley Rutschman came off the 10-day injury list Tuesday and hit his first home run of 2026. He’s a career .301 hitter with two homers and 10 RBIs against Kansas City.

Mohun Bagan holds East Bengal to draw, stays alive in ISL title race East Bengal vs Mohun Bagan had so far been one-way traffic in the Indian Super League (ISL). Ten matches, nine wins, a draw for Bagan – its fans dominated the cheers and led the narrative. But the stakes remained starkly different this time.The top two teams in the ISL went neck-to-neck in the contest, and late fireworks by Edmund Lalrindika and Jason Cummings ensured the rivals shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at the Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Sunday.The draw ensured East Bengal stayed on the top of the standings, owing to its higher goal difference, and forced the title-winning round to the final matchday on May 21.AS IT HAPPENED | Mohun Bagan vs East Bengal HighlightsBagan started the match aggressively, with its front four — Sahal Abdul Samad, Manvir Singh, Liston Colaco and Jamie Maclaren – hovering around the box as the club dominated possession in the first five minutes.On the other hand, East Bengal soaked in the press, with up to six players in defence when out of possession, and got results – denying three clear chances in the first 10 minutes. Bagan’s high line was exposed when Prabhsukhan Gill took an Alisson-esque kick, aiming for Vishnu.The southern and eastern ends of the stadium, comprising East Bengal fans, looked to have found a new life as the decibel scales shifted. But Vishnu’s delay in pulling the trigger saw Vishal Kaith put the chance to bed with the ball safely in his gloves.Kaith, however, was beaten seven minutes later when Anton Sojberg won the ball off Alberto Rodriguez and took a left-footed hit. Time stopped for East Bengal fans as the ball went past the Bagan goalie’s gloves, but their hands went to the back of their heads as the ball rattled the woodwork. The moment repeated itself eight minutes later, this time Bipin Singh delaying a pass to Sojberg. The frustrations in the stands only got louder.For Bagan, Anirudh Thapa almost scored in the 24th minute, shooting on target with a half-volley but Gill met it with equal quality to ensure the scoreboard did not tick.After a scoreless opening period, Bagan’s coach Sergio Lobera chose to go all guns blazing in the final quarter of the match, bringing on Jason Cummings, Robson Robinho and Dimitrios Petratos. That forced him to replace a foreign defender due to the league’s rules, which saw Mehtab Singh, one of Bagan’s weaklings at the back, take the pitch. Celebration followed after Jason Cummings’ equaliser, this time at the Mariners’ end as the fans in red-and-gold stared in disbelief.

With six minutes left, that change bit Bagan at the back as Edmund, getting a pass from Miguel Figueira, beat Mehtab and then Kaith to cause delirium in the East Bengal stands. Coach Oscar Bruzon punched the air, bumped up the fans like Jurgen Klopp, while the forward removed his shirt, put it on a corner flag and planted it on the hallowed turf as a sign of victory.However, Bagan did not go down meekly.Five minutes later, Cummings’ header from a corner rattled the net to spark celebrations at the other end, leaving the fans in red-and-gold staring in disbelief.Maclaren could have sealed the match for Bagan in second-half stoppage time, but a crucial save by Gill ensured nothing could separate the two teams after 90-plus minutes of quality football.A win here would have nearly sealed the title for East Bengal and their supporters. The draw meant they have to wait a round more.While the derby rivals are level on points, East Bengal will win the title if it can win its final match against Inter Kashi since it boasts a +5 goal difference over Bagan. For Bagan, it will need a favour from Inter Kashi when it takes on East Bengal in the final match day or rack up the goals while beating Sporting Club Delhi to pip East Bengal to the title.A draw for both teams could see Punjab FC vs Mumbai City FC determine the title-winner.Published on May 17, 2026 #Mohun #Bagan #holds #East #Bengal #draw #stays #alive #ISL #title #race — Celebration followed after Jason Cummings’ equaliser, this time at the Mariners’ end as the fans in red-and-gold stared in disbelief. | Photo Credit: PTI
