Cardinals starter Lance Lynn pitched well Wednesday against the Mets - but not well enough. He was outdueled by Bartolo Colon.

Lynn lost a 1-0 lead in the sixth on three hits, including an RBI double by Eric Young and run-scoring single by David Wright. Lynn made it through that inning, but was removed for a pinch-hitter and finished having given up two runs on five hits with four walks and five strikeouts.

After seven quality starts in his last eight outings, he is set to go again Monday in Colorado.
