Cardinals standout starter Lance Lynn rolled his right ankle trying to make a play in the eighth inning Saturday against the Giants and was removed from the game, per the San Francisco Chronicle. He was later diagnosed with a mild sprain.
Lynn made an off-balance throw to first on what resulted in an infield single.
He at least received the pleasure of raising his record to 11-8 after throwing seven shutout innings. Lynn allowed just six hits and two walks while whiffing two.
Lynn has given up only four runs in his last 19 2/3 innings after a disastrous outing against Pittsburgh.
