Nick Pratto caps off an explosive night with a walk-off; Royals win 5-4

Daniel Lynch had an...interesting night tonight. In some ways, it seemed like he pitched really well. He didn’t walk a batter in six innings. He also struck out six and the Red Sox never led while he was on the mound. Seven hits in six innings isn’t bad, especially when you didn’t walk any, but ultimately he gave up four runs thanks to some questionable defense and a pair of Red Sox dingers, including the first home run he’s allowed to a lefty in the big leagues when Alex Verdugo took him deep in the sixth.

Still, the lack of walks seems like something he can build on.
