Lynn, Lackey available in relief for Game 5 of NLCS
Richard Mackson-USA TODAY Sports
The St. Louis Cardinals are prepared to pull out all the stops in order to keep their season alive.
Nearly every St. Louis pitcher will be available for Thursday's do-or-die contest, including Lance Lynn, who is slated to start a potential Game 6.
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said fellow right-handed starter John Lackey is also available to pitch in relief.
The San Francisco Giants lead the best-of-seven series 3-1 and can earn a trip to the World Series on Thursday with ace left-hander Madison Bumgarner on the mound. The Cardinals will counter with righty Adam Wainwright.
First pitch from AT&T Park is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. ET.
