Cardinals pitcher Lance Lynn turned in another gem Friday night at home against the Nationals, improving to 7-4 on the season. The right-hander permitted two hits and no walks while striking out eight over eight shutout frames of a 1-0 victory.

Over his last two starts covering 13 innings, Lynn has permitted only two earned runs. He owns a 3.16 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. He will make his next start Wednesday at home against the Mets.
