Topps Now: June 6, 2022

Of course, I had to get this one.  It was the first opportunity to add a Michael Wacha Red Sox card.  Wacha had a great season with the Red Sox.  We will see if he turns out to be a One-Year Wonder.  He is still out there as a free agent, and Boston could use some more pitching.

On June 6, Wacha had one of his best games.  He fired a complete-game shutout against the Angels, winning the game 1-0.  He outdueled Noah Syndergaard.  Wacha gave up just three hits and one walk while striking out six.  

For the offense, Christian Vazquez drove in Alex Verdugo.  Xander Bogaerts and J.D. Martinez each doubled.
