KC Royals: Chris Young Has Earned Rotation Spot

KC Royals emergency starter Chris Young stood out for the fourth game in a row as a member of the rotation. Young held the St. Louis Cardinals scoreless over six innings Friday night in the Kansas City Royals 5-0 victory at Kauffman Stadium.

Taking the place of the injured Jason Vargas, Young has allowed only one run in 22.2 innings pitched in four starts. That’s a ridiculous 0.40 ERA.

At this point, Chris Young is simply too good to return to his bullpen role of long-reliever.
