Young says mechanics contribute to 3rd loss

OAKLAND -- Royals manager Ned Yost is seeing progress from right-hander Chris Young, even though Young is as disappointed by his latest loss as he has been at any point this season.

Young couldn't make it out of the fifth inning for the second consecutive outing in the Royals' 5-3 loss to the A's on Saturday at the Coliseum, a troubling sign for a pitcher looking to get back on track after spending most of 2015 bouncing between the rotation and the bullpen.

"It wasn't good enough so I don't take satisfaction in improvement or anything like that," said Young, who allowed four runs and eight hits in four-plus innings.
