KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Chris Young moved into the Kansas City Royals’ rotation when Ian Kennedy went on the disabled list with a hamstring strain. He’ll be hoping his start Sunday in the series finale against the Baltimore Orioles goes better than his first.
In a Tuesday start at Tampa Bay, Young allowed four runs and seven hits, including a home run, in three innings. He surrendered all of the runs with two outs in the first inning and stranded four runners the next two innings.
Young’s last 14 starts — 13 last year and one in 2017 — have been anything but good.
