Lance Lynn made two starts last week and is 2-0 on the season with a 1.50 earned run average. The right-hander tosses 6 and 2/3 to beat the Milwaukee Brewers on the 8th, and 5 and 1/3 yesterday to beat the Chicago Cubs. During his 12 innings last week, he’s only given up 2 runs and struck out 13. His K’s lead the division amongst pitchers last week.
