Cardinals starting pitcher Lance Lynn (13-6) tossed a quality start but suffered his sixth loss of the season Friday night against the Cubs. The right-hander yielded three runs on three hits and five walks while striking out five over 6 2/3 innings pitched in a 3-0 defeat.

Lynn has allowed seven earned runs combined over his last four starts (27 2/3 innings). He is scheduled to make his next start Thursday at home against the Pirates. He is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA in three starts against the Pirates this season.
