Lynch allowed four earned runs on seven hits while striking out four across six innings in the win over the Twins on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.
Lynch surrendered a pair of homers in the first inning to Byron Buxton and Josh Donaldson before recording an out. However, after he gave up the four runs to the first four batters he faced, he allowed no further damage over six frames. The 24-year-old has a 5.37 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with 47 strikeouts in 57 innings.
