The fifth inning served as the major sticking point for Kansas City Royals left-hander Daniel Lynch, and it proved the pivotal point for the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night.
Lynch gave up all five of the runs against him in the fifth inning of a 5-3 Royals loss to the Guardians in front of an announced crowd of 19,455 in the fifth game of the season-ending six-game series at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio.
The Royals (65-96) will try to finish the season with a victory and earn a series split on Wednesday afternoon. First pitch will be at 3:10 p.m. CT.
