KC Royals rookie Daniel Lynch must learn from the beating he took Saturday.
Daniel Lynch, bludgeoned by Chicago in the first inning of the KC Royals’ 9-1 loss to the White Sox Saturday evening, can take some comfort knowing his wasn’t the only horrendous major league pitching performance of the night.
The Royals’ rookie began his second career start shortly after 6 p.m. in Kansas City. After what must have felt like hours to him, manager Mike Matheny mercifully extricated Lynch from the storm swirling around him—10 Sox hitters blistered him for seven runs on seven hits, including two singles, two doubles, a triple and a home run.
