Without throwing a warmup pitch, López left the field.Facing Royals ace Cole Ragans, López looked outstanding early, retiring the first 10 batters he faced. The strong start was much-needed for a beleaguered Twins bullpen, which covered 12 1/3 innings over the previous three games.Following rain-delayed starts in St. Louis and Chicago, López got plenty of swings-and-misses early, recording five strikeouts his first time through the lineup. López finally surrendered a hit to Bobby Witt Jr. with one out in the fourth inning, a double that — along with two defensive miscues — led to the only run he would allow.López returned in the fifth and retired the first two batters he faced before yielding a single to Kyle Isbel and walking India, which brought Witt back to the plate. Before Witt stepped in, Correa noticed López looking uncomfortable and headed to the mound for a discussion.López allowed an unearned run, three hits and one walk while striking out six over 4 2/3 innings.(Photo: Ed Zurga / Getty Images)
