EDGE Analysis

Lynch toed the rubber against Houston for the second straight start and quieted its potent offense once again en route to the victory. The rookie lefty escaped jams in the third and fifth -- when the top of Houston's order saw him for the second and third time -- to permit just a single run across both frames. Lynch departed with a 2-1 lead that Kansas City quickly extended to erase any doubts about his fourth win in six turns. He tentatively lines up to face Seattle on Sunday.
