KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Before the game, Spencer Torkelson stirred up a portion of Royals Nation with his half-serious response to a Twitter photo clearly showing Kansas City’s Monday night starter Jordan Lyles with a strip of sticky stuff on his left wrist.
“He’s 1-11,” he snarked, referencing Lyle’s won-loss record. “You can have it. Take it.”
That got a rise out of them, for sure, and he kept the needle in once the game started.
