Lance Lynn had a sterling start on the mound and the top five hitters in the White Sox order combined to go 9-20 as Chicago defeated Kansas City 4-1.
Lynn looked nothing like a struggling pitcher early on, retiring the first six batters via four strikeouts and two groundouts on a tidy 24 pitches. Meanwhile, Brady Singer ran into trouble early on, struggling with his location and surrendering a series of solid line drives to center that led to a first inning run for the White Sox. He was on his way to an efficient second inning with two outs and a 1-2 count on Adam Engel when the rain rolled in, delaying the game.
