LANCE LYNN NEWS

Bounces back with win Lynn (2-5) earned the win Tuesday, allowing three runs (one earned) on seven hits over seven innings against Cleveland. He struck out seven.

Impact Lynn secured his second quality start of the season Tuesday, his first since April 11, while righting the ship after taking a loss in four of his last five starts. The veteran righty got off to a blazing start, retiring each of the first 11 batters and holding the Guardians scoreless until the sixth frame. Though Lynn owns a 6.66 ERA and a 1.94 HR/9, his one saving grace has been his swing-and-miss stuff, with a 10.69 K/9. After finishing with an ERA above 4.00 once in his first 11 years in the bigs, Lynn is on pace to finish above that mark in 2023 but could be in line for some positive regression considering his 61.8 percent left on base percentage and xERA and xFIP values significantly lower than his actual numbers.

Hit hard in loss Lynn (1-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Royals, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings.

Impact Lynn started off by allowing four runs in the opening frame after the Royals tallied six hits against him. He wound up surrendering a pair of home runs as well. A solo shot to Michael Massey in the fourth and a two-run blast to Nick Pratto in the fifth. The 36-year-old has been nothing short of a disappointment this season and has given up at least four runs in each of his last five starts. Lynn's 7.51 ERA is the worst among all qualified pitchers and his 1.60 ERA is sitting at sixth-worst. He'll look to rebound in a projected starts against the Guardians at home next week.

Finally collects first win Lynn (1-4) picked up the win in Friday's 5-4 victory over the Reds, giving up four runs on eight hits over 6.2 innings. He struck out eight without walking a batter.

Impact The veteran right-hander pounded the strike zone, firing 74 of 103 pitches for strikes while generated 19 swinging strikes, and he got just enough run support to get into the win column for the first time this year. Lynn also served up another homer though, his ninth in 39.1 innings, and that remains the biggest obstacle between him and turning his season around. He'll take a 6.86 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB into his next start, likely to come next week in Kansas City.

Lynn has allowed multiple runs in each of his five starts this season and has gotten through six innings just once. He currently has a 7.52 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP, but his 32:13 K:BB through 26.1 innings is somewhat encouraging.

Crushed by Giants Lynn (0-1) allowed eight earned runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.1 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Giants.

Impact Lynn allowed multiple runs in three of the five innings he pitched, and he served up three homers in the disastrous outing. The only positive to be taken from the start is that he was throwing at nearly exactly his typical velocity, so it doesn't appear that he's dealing with any type of injury. Even though his first outing of the season was more successful, Lynn has walked seven batters across his first 10 frames of work in the new campaign.
