Daniel Lynch, demoted to Triple-A Omaha by the KC Royals after a brief early May visit to the Kansas City rotation proved he needed more seasoning, struggled against St. Paul Thursday night. He gave up seven runs, including six in the first two innings, before leaving after the fifth.
The Storm Chasers, however, took Lynch off the hook. They rode the 10 runs they scored in the first two frames to a 16-9 victory. The Chasers are now 23-9.
And right in the middle of things for Omaha was Ryan O’Hearn, another Royal deemed in need of repair after spending unproductive time in KC this season.
