Dexter Fowler reached base four times and drove in two runs in his return to the lineup, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat former starter Lance Lynn and the Minnesota Twins 7-5 on Wednesday.

Lynn (1-4) had control issues again, a surprising constant in his first season with Minnesota after six years with the Cardinals. He gave up three runs, four hits and four walks in three innings, throwing 82 pitches.

Lynn averaged 3.4 walks per nine innings in his time with the Cardinals, a number that has crept to 6.6 per nine innings entering first start against St. Louis.

Logan Morrison had an opposite-field solo homer for Minnesota in the sixth.

The Twins have an open date Thursday before hosting Milwaukee for a weekend series.
