Lynn didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Rays but spun a quality start, allowing two runs on six hits with three walks and eight strikeouts over seven innings.
Lynn and Tampa Bay starter Chris Archer matched zeroes in the first three innings, but Lynn blinked in the fourth on a solo homer by Logan Morrison and surrendered a solo shot to Brad Miller in the seventh. St. Louis' offense took him off the hook, though, with two late home runs of its own, so Lynn still hasn't lost since July 4 while firing nine quality starts in 10 subsequent appearances. Expect another strong outing Saturday in San Francisco.
