Cardinals starting pitcher Lance Lynn turned in a very good start Wednesday against the Royals, surrendering just two earned runs on eight hits and one walk in seven innings and striking out four. However, he was on the hook for the loss before the team scored four runs in the bottom of the eighth, giving Lynn a no-decision.
Lynn has posted a fine follow-up to his 18-win rookie season, going 7-1 with a 2.91 ERA in his first 11 starts of 2013. He'll try to keep it going when he faces the Diamondback Monday.
