CHICAGO — Kansas City Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch returned to the starting rotation and outshined his counterpart, another talented young hurler in White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech.
Lynch pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings in his first start since July 16. He struck out seven and didn’t walk a batter in a start for the first time all season.
Lynch set the tone for the Royals in a 2-1 win over the Chicago White Sox in front of an announced 17,500 in the series opener of a three-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field on Monday night.
