Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn was brilliant in a win Monday, giving up just three hits and no walks in eight scoreless innings while striking out seven in his team's 8-0 victory over the Rockies.
Lynn (8-5) was dominant in the thin Colorado air, retiring 16 straight batters after giving up a one-out single in the first inning. After giving up two more singles with two outs in the six, the St. Louis starter retired the final seven batters he faced. Lynn owns a 2.90 ERA and 89:35 K:BB ratio in 99 1/3 innings after Monday's gem. He's set to face the Dodgers Saturday.
