Cardinals starting pitcher Lance Lynn was charged with five runs and nine hits in only 3 2/3 innings during St. Louis' 6-0 loss to Miami in a Grapefruit League game Sunday. Lining up to be the team's No. 3 starter, Lynn permitted multiple runs for the third time in his four starts this spring as his ERA ballooned to 7.50.
The right-hander, who is entering his second full season in the starting rotation, finished with two walks and one strikeout. "There were a lot of things that didn't work out in the end for him today, but I thought it was a day of moving forward from his last start," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said of Lynn's effort.
