During the six-game skid the Royals carried into tonight, they hadn’t given up fewer than six runs in a game. They needed a response from the pitching staff, specifically from its young starter Daniel Lynch.
The Royals got that from a struggling pitching staff. However, through seven innings, Kansas City had managed just three baserunners. Just as it looked like a strong night from the Royals’ staff would be wasted, an 8th inning rally manifested just in the knick of time. It was a rally that this reeling Kansas City squad needed, propelling them to a 3-2 comeback win.
