Cardinals reliever Tyler Lyons appeared in his first game of the season, but it did not go as planned.
Lyons came in for starter Carlos Martinez in the top of the seventh and allowed the first three batters of the inning to reach base. He then gave up a sacrifice fly to Toronto first baseman Justin Smoak, widening St. Louis' deficit to 4-0.
However, Lyons then recorded back-to-back strikeouts of catcher Russell Martin and pinch hitter Darwin Barney to retire the side. Lyons had started the season on the disabled list but was activated on April 20.
