Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn left Sunday's game in the second inning with some type of hand problem.
After retiring the Marlins in order in the first inning, Lynn walked the first two batters of the second. After the third batter reached on an infield error, Lynn called the trainer to the mound to look at his hand. He was removed from the game.
Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch speculated that blister problems that have plagued Lynn in the past may have returned. Lynn only threw six strikes in 15 second-inning pitches, indicating that a grip problem, like a blister, could have been bothering him.
