After taking his first loss his last time out, Cardinals starter Lance Lynn got back in the win column on Monday night against the Mets. He allowed three runs on four hits over seven innings of work in a 6-3 victory.

The right-hander gave up all of his damage in the second and permitted just two baserunners over his final five frames. He threw 75 of his career-high 124 pitches for strikes.

Lynn also struck out seven and walked five while earning his sixth win.

His next start is scheduled for Saturday against the Brewers. Lynn went 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA in four appearances (two starts) against Milwaukee last season.
