Lynch took a no-decision against the Tigers on Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk in 4.1 innings. He struck out three.
Lynch worked rather efficiently, tossing 38 of his 59 pitches for strikes, but he's not quite yet built up to handle a traditional starter's workload. Sunday still marked a season-long outing for the southpaw, who has struggled to a 6.57 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 12.1 innings as a starter versus a 1.96 ERA and 0.93 WHIP in 46 frames as a reliever. Lynch, who has a 2.93 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 43:17 K:BB for the season, will be looking to reach the 60-pitch marker for the first time this year his next time out against Cleveland.
