Wild Card Game Game 1 Victory for Buehler and Kansas City
The Kansas City Royals downed the Chicago White Sox, 5-0, in Game 1 of the Wild Card Game. Walker Buehler was a key factor. He threw 6.0 innings of shutout ball. The win puts Kansas City up, 1-0, in the series.

Mike Yastrzemski had a critical at-bat with one out in the bottom of the seventh for Kansas City. He came through with a bases-clearing double to put Kansas City in front, 5-0.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," Buehler said.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
