Chris Young to start Game 4 of the ALCS

The Royals have announced that Chris Young will get the start in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series on Tuesday. Ned Yost had earlier committed to using four starting pitchers rather than ask his starters to pitch on short rest, but the decision was between Young or Kris Medlen.

Young was 11-6 with a 3.06 ERA in 123 1/3 inning this year and provided four excellent innings of relief in Game One of the American League Division Series against Houston, allowing just a solo home run and striking out seven.
