Lynn (0-1) gave up six runs (four earned) on five hits, including three home runs and four walks while striking out four over five innings in Tuesday's 8-3 loss to the Nationals.

He managed to throw just 57 of 101 pitches for strikes, and when Lynn did get the ball into the strike zone he was too often just grooving it right down the heart of the plate. Some ups and downs are to be expected for the 29-year-old as he makes his return from Tommy John surgery, however. He'll look to rebound at home Monday against the Pirates.
