KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One added benefit for the Kansas City Royals and their fresh, young group of players is that they have no attachment to any past woes or streaks of bad luck.
So a pitcher like Chicago White Sox right-hander Lance Lynn having had the Royals’ number recently, means nothing to rookie sluggers like Vinnie Pasquantino and Nick Pratto.
They weren’t part of those lineups when Lynn dominated the Royals. Instead, they had relatively blank slates.
