What a season for Michael Wacha. 200.2 innings to lead the American League with a 3.32 ERA. And fittingly, he rounds out his year with a Quality Start (6.1 IP / 2 ER), his AL-best 21st.

Lucas Erceg averaged 100.3 mph on his sinker & 99.0 mph on his four-seam fastball in his perfect 8th inning to protect a one-run lead. His 100.6 mph sinker to induce a groundout from Randal Grichuk was tied for the fastest pitch of his career.

Jake Eisenberg @jakeeisenberg.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Including the two games in 2022 when I filled in, I’m at 625 Royals games. If you include the postseason, 631. So, ~7.8% of Denny’s total.

Jake Eisenberg @jakeeisenberg.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Just a staggering number. And what an honor to ride shotgun for even a fraction of them. So excited to celebrate No. 8,000 on Friday with many more to come!

Welcome back, Lucas Erceg. A 1-2-3 inning in his return to the big leagues, including a swinging strikeout with a slider to end the inning. His fastball averaged 99.5 mph.

Jake Eisenberg @jakeeisenberg.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Every swing for Carter Jensen makes more Royals rookie history. His RBI double in the 5th inning was his 58th extra-base hit this season, breaking Bobby Witt Jr.'s rookie record of 57 XBH set in 2022.

With one swing, Carter Jensen ties the Royals rookie home run record (24, Bob Hamelin, 1994) & sets a new Royals record for most consecutive hits for XBH with 12 (prev: 11 by Hal McRae in 1977).

Each of Carter Jensen's last 11 hits have been extra-base hits, including two doubles tonight at Fenway Park. His 11 straight hits for XBH ties Hal McRae's franchise record, set in 1977.

Michael Wacha was a maestro tonight in his best start as a Royal. The curveball—only the eighth he threw all game!—for his 10th strikeout to cap 8.0 scoreless innings? Amazing. He now has a 3.32 ERA (T-7th AL) in 170.2 IP (1st AL) with 18 Quality Starts (1st AL).

Michael Wacha threw a 97.8 mph fastball in the 3rd inning tonight. That's his fastest pitch of the year, his fastest as a Royal, and the fastest pitch he's thrown since his fastest career pitch of 99.1 mph in Sept. of 2017.
