Jordan Lyles exited last night’s start against the Tigers in the seventh inning hoping his bullpen could protect a 4-1 lead and give him his first win of the season. They did not. Taylor Clarke blew up and five runs crossed the plate as the Royals lost, as they have done every single time Jordan Lyles has started this year. In fact, according to ESPN it is the first time ever a team has lost in each of the first 15 starts by a pitcher in a season.
The Royals have lost each of Jordan Lyles' 15 starts this season.
