Danny Mendick - Smashes two-run shotMendick went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's victory over the Royals.

ImpactThe right-handed hitter smashed a two-run shot off Daniel Lynch in what was a blowout from the first inning on. It was the first dinger for Mendick and given it is a small sample size, he is now slashing .350/.500/.500 in 2021.

Daniel Lynch - Clobbered in lossLynch (0-1) allowed eight runs on seven hits and walked one over two-thirds of an inning in Saturday's loss to the White Sox.

ImpactThe highly-regarded prospect had a nightmarish second outing, as he was unable to escape the first inning. It was a tough draw in his second career start, facing a White Sox lineup that is notorious for destroying left-handed pitching. Lynch had flashes of impressive pitching in Cleveland on Monday, hinting he can be the dominant lefty that the Royals expect him to be. He now has a 18.56 ERA and 3.00 WHIP.

Lance Lynn - Earns winLynn (3-1) managed to go five innings Saturday, allowing no runs on one hit and four walks while striking out six to earn the win over Kansas City.

ImpactThe righty was sharp Saturday in what ended up being a stress-free outing. The 33-year-old threw 51 of his 90 pitches for strikes as he struggled with command at times, but manager Tony La Russa gave him a higher pitch count than his previous start given that was his first appearance since returning from the IL. Lynn now has a 1.52 ERA and 0.98 WHIP on the year.
