Friday, May 26, 2023 at 6:40 pm
The White Sox will look to even the series on Friday with veteran right-hander Lance Lynn on the mound.
Lynn (3-5, 6.28 ERA) has settled in during his last two starts after getting roughed up for a majority of his first eight outings this season. Lynn allowed three runs, one earned, while striking out seven in seven innings against Cleveland on May 16.
Lynn then held Kansas City to two runs and four hits while notching six strikeouts in six innings on Sunday.
Lynn is 7-3 with a 3.39 ERA in 11 career starts against Detroit.
Left-hander Joey Wentz (1-4, 7.45), who will oppose Lynn on Friday, hasn't gotten out of the third inning in his last two outings. He gave up three runs and six hits in 2 2/3 innings against Seattle on May 14.
His next outing was even worse: He was charged with six runs on 10 hits in two-plus innings at Washington on Sunday.
With limited options to take Wentz out of the rotation, manager A.J. Hinch is sticking with him.
