Winless in his previous six starts, mainly due largely to lack of run support, Lance Lynn picked up win No. 11 Tuesday night as the Cardinals' bats came to life in a 13-4 blowout win over the Cincinnati Reds before a crowd of 40,030 at Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals, who've won four in a row and eight of nine, will continue the series with the Reds Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. and Thursday at 12:45 p.m.
Lynn (11-7) gave up a solo homer to Reds shortstop Zack Cozart in the first but settled down to limit the Reds to one hit over the next three innings.
