Lyles won the preliminaries in 20.10 before striking a world lead in the semifinal where he clocked 19.60 to win the race.
He started his Olympic campaign with a win in the 100m, equaling his personal best time of 9.83 to win the race ahead of Bednarek and former world champion Fred Kerley.
In the 100m, Lyles has only lost one race so far this season, finishing second behind Jamaican Oblique Seville at the Racers Grand Prix.
He opened his season at the Tom Jones Memorial, winning in 10.01 as he extended the winning streak to the Bermuda Grand Prix, winning in 9.96. At the Racers Grand Prix, the Olympic Games 200m bronze medallist finished second in 9.85 as Seville clocked a personal best time of 9.82.
Lyles has yet to win a gold medal at the Olympic Games and qualifying for the two individual events is a chance for him to vie for a repeat of his performance at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary where he won the 100m and 200m gold medals and also claimed the 4x100m relay gold.
