SAN FRANCISCO -- Somehow, Lance Lynn stayed on his feet long enough to finally beat the San Francisco Giants.
Once, he caught his spikes and nearly topped down the dugout steps. Twice, his right knee buckled. And in the most scary scene of all, the St. Louis pitcher twisted his right ankle making a play and was forced to leave Saturday.
Lynn still wound up with his first career win over the Giants, sending the NL Central-leading Cardinals to a 6-0 victory (see full story).

Astros' Fiers follows no-no with another win, 4-1 over Twins
MINNEAPOLIS -- Mike Fiers followed his no-hitter with another stellar start for Houston, pitching into the seventh inning with three hits allowed for the first-place Astros in a 4-1 victory Saturday over the Minnesota Twins.
Fiers (2-0) struck out five while surrendering one run, on a bases-loaded double-play grounder hit by Trevor Plouffe in the fourth. He left two on with none out in the seventh inning, but Will Harris struck out two of the next three batters to preserve the three-run padding (see full story).
