Kansas City Royals starter Michael Lorenzen exited in the second inning Tuesday night at the Cleveland Guardians with a left hamstring strain.
The right-hander apparently suffered the injury earlier in the frame covering first base while trying to convert a 3-6-1 double play. Lorenzen stayed in the game after that play and struck out Cleveland’s Lane Thomas.
However, he left with a 1-0 count on Bo Naylor, who fanned against Carlos Hernandez to end the frame. Lorenzen limited the Guardians to one hit and one walk in 1 2/3 scoreless innings.
Lorenzen, 32, entered the game 2-0 with a 1.99 ERA in four starts since the Royals acquired him from Texas.
Kansas City, one-game behind the first-place Guardians in the AL Central, led 2-1 in the bottom of the fifth inning while amid a weather delay.
