Cardinals starting pitcher Lance Lynn settled down after a rough opening frame and came out with his first win of the season Thursday afternoon against the Reds.

Lynn (1-0) surrendered back-to-back home runs to Jay Bruce and Todd Frazier in the first and finished his outing with four scoreless innings. He yielded three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven over five innings pitched. 75 of his 107 pitches were called for strikes.

Lynn will have a rematch against Cincinnati at home on Tuesday.
