Lance Lynn gave up four earned runs in five innings Saturday in the Cardinals' loss to the Brewers.

Lynn struggled with his command, throwing only 56 of his 89 pitches for strikes while yielding eight hits and two walks. He escaped with a no-decision only because the Cardinals lost in extra innings. Lynn will take a 6-1 record, 3.27 ERA and 1.16 WHIP into his next outing against the Dodgers. It will be a nice test.

Lance Lynn became the National League's first five-game winner after pitching seven innings of one-run ball against the Reds on Wednesday.

It was quite a day for Lynn; he even singled to snap a 52-at-bat hitless skid. Lynn has allowed a total of two runs over 21 innings in his last three starts. His 2013 is shaping up a lot like his 2012 so far. Let's just hope there's no repeat of his second half.

Lance Lynn improved to 4-0 by firing seven innings of one-run ball Friday against the Pirates.

Lynn was dominant, striking out nine batters while giving up just two hits and three walks. He also hit Starling Marte twice. The lone run scored on a sacrifice fly by Pedro Alvarez in the sixth inning. Lynn has allowed one earned run or less in three out of his last four starts and has a 3.10 ERA and 34/13 K/BB ratio across his first 29 innings of work this season. He has a tough test against the Reds next time out, but he struck out 10 over six innings of one-run ball in his first start against them on April 9. Fantasy owners will hope for a repeat performance.

Lance Lynn allowed one run while striking out 10 in six innings of the Cardinals' 5-1 win over the Reds Tuesday.

Lynn's first start, in which he lasted only four innings, had some owners worried, so it was a comforting bounce-back from the big righty. The 25-year-old allowed just four hits over his six innings, another promising sign. Lynn's next test will come Monday against the Pirates at PNC Park.
