Lynn (6-4) picked up the win in Tuesday's 8-1 victory over the Rangers, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right-hander got lifted after 87 pitches (49 strikes) with the Cardinals having already done all their scoring for the night. An 11-run disaster against the Nats on July 6 is still marring his numbers, but over his last six starts Lynn has given up two runs or fewer in each of the other five, winning four of them and lasting at least five innings in all five. He'll take a 4.06 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 97:41 K:BB through 106.1 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Mets.
