Royals' Carlos Hernandez under pressure in start vs. White Sox | |
Carlos Hernandez might be pitching for his rotation spot, if not his place on the roster, when he starts for the Kansas City Royals on Thursday afternoon in the finale a five-game series against the visiting Chicago White Sox. The Royals won the past two games after dropping the first two in the series. Rookies Bobby Witt Jr. and M.J. Melendez homered Wednesday in Kansas City's 6-2 victory. Hernandez (0-3, 9.11 ERA) will square off Thursday with Chicago's Vince Velasquez (2-3, 5.53) in a battle of right-handers. Velasquez was initially scheduled to pitch Wednesday, but the White Sox activated Lucas Giolito from the COVID injured list, bumping Velasquez back a day. MORE | |
