Cardinals right-hander Lance Lynn was terrific in his start against the Mets on Friday. Lynn allowed a home run to Curtis Granderson to lead off the game, but gave up just two more hits the rest of the way.
Overall, Lynn gave up one run on three hits over seven innings. He walked one and struck out nine, lowering his ERA to 2.79 on the year.
This was a good start to the second half of the season for Lynn, who closed out his first half with a five-run outing against the Pirates last weekend.
