After Friday’s miraculous, 9-7 comeback win extended their season, the St. Louis Cardinals will hand the ball to former Ole Miss star Lance Lynn in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday. The Cardinals face San Francisco in a matchup of the past two World Series winners. Lynn won 17 games in 29 starts during the regular season, including four W’s in his last four starts after a hiatus in the bullpen. For the year, Lynn went 18-7 with a 3.78. He has pitched four times in relief in this postseason. He gave up the walk-off homer to Washington’s Jayson Werth on Thursday but for the most part pitched well. Lynn’s a horse. The 7-game series starts at San Francisco, but the Cardinals don’t seem to care about home field. They won at Atlanta in the wild card game, then took two of three at Washington to win the NLDS. … Former Mississippi Braves standout Gregor Blanco, a lefty hitter, batted .286 with a homer, two RBIs and three runs in the Giants’ 5-game NLDS win over Cincinnati.
