Cardinals starting pitcher Lance Lynn tossed the first complete game of his career Tuesday, in a 6-0 win over the Yankees.
Lynn, in his 75th start, finally went all nine innings for the first time. He shut the Yankees out while allowing just five hits and three walks, though he struck out just two batters as well. He picked up 16 of 27 outs via ground ball, while throwing 126 pitches, the 10th-highest total in the majors this season.
Lynn improved his record to 6-2 on the season, while lowering his ERA to 3.13 in 69 innings of work. His next start is set for Sunday against the Giants.
