Lance Lynn will look for his major-league-leading 13th victory when the Texas Rangers start a two-game interleague series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday at Arlington, Texas.

Lynn, further stating his case as a prime contender for the American League Cy Young Award, shut down the hot-hitting Houston Astros on Thursday in his first start after the All-Star break. He struck out 11 in seven scoreless innings, allowing six hits and two walks.

Lynn (12-4, 3.69 ERA) is riding his mid-90s fastball and his cutter more this season, decreasing the usage of his sinker, in a bounce-back season after he went 10-10 with a 4.77 ERA for the Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees last season.
