Game 2 vs White Sox (0-1)

Lynn goes the distance in shutout win

Chicago, IL - In his very first start with the Chicago White Sox, Lance Lynn tossed a complete game shutout to top the visiting Royals, 3-0.

It was a matchup of the two former Texas standouts as Lance Lynn would be pitted against Mike Minor of the Royals. Despite a fairly strong outing from Minor, the sticks from Kansas City would be silenced by Lynn as he allowed just three hits in nine flawless innings of work.

Tim Anderson got things rolling for the home crowd and the White Sox took a third inning lead that was never in danger. Anderson has been on fire so far in this series, tallying four hits in eight attempts with two RBI's and two SB's.

Although the Royals worked out the kinks of game one's swing and misses, Whit Merrifield and Andrew Benintendi have been silent at the top of the order and insult was only added to injury by two GIDP's from Kyle Isbel and Salvador Perez. The Royals would end the day making decent contact off Lynn, but failed to find open green in the process.

The Royals will look for a turn-around opportunity in game three with Chicago as they put Danny Duffy on the mound against Dallas Keuchel.
