Cardinals' Tyler Lyons: Extends scoreless streak in win

Lyons (3-0) fired a scoreless eighth inning in Friday's 11-6 win over the Giants, recording two strikeouts.

The hard-throwing lefty's ERA is down to 2.45 following Friday's effort, while his scoreless appearance streak is now at an even 20 outings. In a season of plenty of late-inning uncertainty for the Cardinals, Lyons has turned into manager Mike Matheny's most consistent option as of late. However, he continues to primarily see hold opportunities as opposed to save chances, but his stellar 53:16 K:BB over 44 innings, 2.45 ERA and 1.02 WHIP help keep him viable in a number of fantasy formats.
