Lynn (4-2) gave up four runs (two earned) on three hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Red Sox.
He served up solo homers to Mookie Betts and Jackie Bradley in the first two innings, but Lynn was still in line for a possible win before his defense let him down in the fifth. The 30-year-old has now delivered quality starts in five of his last six trips to the mound, and the Cards' schedule will afford him an extra couple days rest before his next outing Tuesday on the road against the Dodgers.
