MARLINS 1, CARDINALS 0

Miami starter Justin Nicolino went five shutout innings, giving up three hits. Derek Dietrich doubled in a run.

Cardinals starter Lance Lynn, who hasn't pitched in a big league game since October 2015 due to an elbow injury and subsequent Tommy John surgery, was lifted after one inning for "precautionary reasons, " general manager John Mozeliak said during the Cardinals broadcast of the game. Lynn didn't allow a hit or run and struck out one. He's pitched 15 innings this spring to a 1.29 ERA.
