## Resource

Daniel Lynch struggled on the mound, giving up five runs in just five innings with no strikeouts and seven hits, despite a brief 10-batter streak. The bullpen didn’t help either, as Nolan Hoffman surrendered three runs immediately and Easton McGee gave up a run in the ninth — both players’ futures look shaky. Offensively, Bobby Witt Jr. launched a home run to start things off, but the team couldn’t capitalize after that, failing to get runners in scoring position. Even the opposing pitcher, Jameson Taillon, exited early due to injury. A late solo shot from a slumping player offered a small spark, but it wasn’t enough. The Royals now face the Blue Jays again tomorrow, with Seth Lugo taking on Max Scherzer — who’s had a strong recent outing despite overall poor stats. Game time: 6:10 PM Central.
