Rockies pitcher Jordan Lyles recorded his second win of the season Monday, giving up one earned run on five hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings while striking out four in his team's 8-1 win over the White Sox.
Lyles (2-0) was fortunate to pick up a win in his first start after giving up four runs in five innings, but he pitched much better Monday, with the only blemish coming in the seventh inning. He also went 3 for 3 at the plate, driving in two runs. Lyles owns a 3.86 ERA and 9:3 K:BB ratio in 11 2/3 innings. He's lined up to take on the Giants in San Francisco Sunday.
