It’s hard to imagine anything that could have made Daniel Lynch’s first stint in Kansas City worst than it was. In just eight innings of work, he gave up 14 runs, including a brutal eight runs in 0.2 innings in his 2nd career start.
He was called back up to mend a depleted starting rotation and he has responded to the opportunity in a big way, continuing tonight with a strong start that helped the Royals take the series against the White Sox in a 3-2 win.
Lynch absolutely shoved in his first start back, going eight scoreless innings before grinding through his last start, giving Kansas City six strong innings after giving up three early runs.
