very lynn-teresting

Lance Lynn certainly has made himself right at home in the St. Louis rotation. Handed the role when ace Chris Carpenter went on the disabled list in spring training, former Ole Miss star Lynn is now 3-0 with a 1.42 ERA in three starts after beating Pittsburgh 4-1 on Friday night. “I was just trying to fill up the zone and make them hit my pitch,” Lynn told mlb.com. In seven innings, Lynn allowed four hits, one of which was a leadoff, inside-the-park home run by Alex Presley, who played with Lynn in Oxford in 2006. (Zack Cozart and Chris Coghlan were also on that Rebels club; how did they not get to Omaha?) Lynn and Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay are the only National League pitchers with three wins.
