Cardinals starter Lance Lynn rebounded from a dreadful effort his last time out to post a quality start against the Reds on Saturday.
Lynn held the Reds to three runs on four hits over six innings. He walked three and struck out three and pitched very well for much of the game. He held a 1-0 lead heading into the fifth inning. But he served up a three-run home run to former Cardinal, Skip Schumaker. The Cardinals went on to the 5-1 loss.
Lynn (11-10, 3.17 ERA) was rocked for six runs in 2 1/3 innings in his previous start, so this was a sure sign of relief for the Cardinals.
