We always knew things would look brighter for these Royals, eventually. They simply could not be that bad over a full season. And here they are, with two chances to win a series since they took two out of three from Colorado back on May 13-15. A win this afternoon would also mark their longest winning streak of the season at four. Even better, today’s lineup features three rookies and 25-year-old Daniel Lynch will take the mound.
After an awful first start of the season, Lynch had a pretty good roll going with five of six starts seeing him allow three runs or fewer and three games with no runs allowed at all.
