Daniel Lynch the IV will get his second start of the year as he gets a shot to transition back to the rotation. The first attempt did not go great, and this one is against the third highest scoring team in baseball at 5.02 runs per game. It will be a tough test for the lefty. The Royals could use a win as they try to avoid the sweep in LA.

Nick Loftin will lead off for the 7th time this season with a right-hand heavy lineup to face Eric Lauer due to all the injuries and six man rotation for the Dodgers.
