Lance Lynn delivered an impressive performance in his 100th game at Busch Stadium, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lynn allowed just one run over six innings, striking out five and improving his record to 7-4, while extending his unbeaten streak at the stadium to 9-0 over his last 21 starts. Jordan Walker contributed significantly with a solo home run, while Ryan Helsley secured his 45th save of the season. The Cardinals remain in pursuit of a playoff spot, sitting seven games out of the NL wild card with only 11 games left in the season. For the Pirates, Bryan De La Cruz hit his 20th home run of the year, but the team has now lost four of its last five games. This match marked a crucial moment for Lynn, who is enjoying a successful reunion with the team after returning this season after a previous tenure from 2011-2017.
