Cardinals sweep the Cubs in another blow out win

July 22, 2012 By Bill Pollock

Lance Lynn won his 12th game tossing six scoreless innings, and Matt Holliday and Carlos Beltran homered on consecutive pitches to put the cherry on top of a sweet weekend sweep as the Cardinals won 7-0 over the Chicago Cubs.

St. Louis got off to a quick start. Jon Jay and Tony Cruz hit consecutive two-run doubles off Travis Wood (4-5) in the first inning. The Cardinals outscored the Cubs 23-1 and outhit them 38-16 for their sweep.

Lynn (12-4) has allowed just one run in 19 innings his last three starts. Fernando Salas and Marc Rzepczynski finished a combined five-hitter as the Cardinals earned consecutive shutouts for the first time since Oct. 1-2, 2010 against the Rockies.
