Lynn allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four in 5.1 innings but came away with a no-decision in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Cubs.
It was vintage Lynn, as he needed 98 pitches to get 16 outs but mostly held the opposition in check. The 29-year-old was still in line for his first big-league win since Sept. 23, 2015 before Brett Cecil coughed up four runs in the seventh inning. All in all it was an impressive return from Tommy John surgery for Lynn, but he'll get another tough test Tuesday in Washington.
