ST. LOUIS — After snapping a six-start winless streak in his last start, St. Louis right-hander Mike Leake will try to break his team’s stretch of three straight games without a quality start when the Cardinals host the Miami Marlins on Wednesday night.
Lance Lynn was on his way to a quality start Tuesday until a three-run homer by Christian Yelich in the top of the sixth ruined those plans. Lynn left one batter later, a shutout turned into a 3-2 deficit that wound up as a 5-2 loss, dropping St. Louis to 40-43. Lynn was charged with four runs (two earned) in 5 1/3 innings.
