Sometimes baseball can be a simple game.  While it’s a sport that has a season which features thousands of games and outcomes, there are still plenty of occasions where the difference between a team winning and losing can be contributions from its best players. That scenario played out for the Royals on Friday night in their 3-0 win over the Guardians at Progressive Field.  While Kansas City’s offense wasn’t able to do much for most of the evening, the game’s first run was generated on a Bobby Witt Jr. masterclass in the fifth inning, while Michael Wacha made it stand up with eight scoreless innings and a season-high 10 strikeouts as the Royals won for the 10th time in 11 games. “That’s probably the best we’ve seen \[Wacha\
