Seth Lugo - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes five frames in no-decision Lugo allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one batter over five innings in a no-decision against Toronto on Saturday.

Impact Lugo began his outing poorly, giving up two runs on five hits in the first inning. The veteran righty settled down from there, yielding only one more run and three more hits over his remaining four frames. While this wasn't Lugo's sharpest outing, it was a clear improvement over the nine-run, 3.2-inning start he registered his previous time on the mound. Lugo will carry a 5.04 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 119:51 K:BB over 159 innings spanning 29 starts into his next outing, which is slated to be a road matchup in Boston.

Torched for nine runs in eighth loss Lugo (6-8) took the loss against the Guardians on Sunday, allowing nine runs on nine hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out two.

Impact It was a rough afternoon on the bump for Lugo, who surrendered six extra-base hits (two home runs) and coughed up three runs in every inning he worked besides the second. The nine runs allowed were a season worst, and Sunday marked his second-shortest outing of the season. He'll aim to right the ship in his next scheduled outing against the Blue Jays, holding a 5.03 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 118:49 K:BB over 153 innings.

Sharp in Toronto Lugo (6-7) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out five across five innings.

Impact Lugo loaded the bases in the first inning but managed to limit the damage to one run on a Jesus Sanchez sacrifice fly. Lugo settled in after the opening frame, retiring six of the next seven batters he faced and did not yield another run the rest of the way. It was the first time since July 28 that he allowed just one earned run in a start, and he finished Tuesday's outing having generated 12 whiffs and 53 strikes on 89 pitches. Lugo will take a 4.61 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 150.1 innings into his next start, lined up for this weekend on the road against the Guardians.

No-decision in loss Lugo did not determine the decision in Wednesday's 9-7 win against the Athletics, giving up five runs on nine hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out three.

Impact Lugo was plagued by a rough three-run fifth inning in Wednesday's game where the Athletic's had five hits, but he allowed only four base runners the rest of his start. The 36-year-old now has now pitched 14 straight innings without giving up a walk, but there has been 12 runs given up in that stretch. The right-hander will support a 4.71 ERA and 1.38 WHIP into next week's start in Toronto.

Early hook in no-decision Lugo did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-6 win over the Angels, allowing five runs on seven hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Impact Lugo was mostly undone by a four-run third inning and departed after 86 pitches in the fifth after allowing a game-tying single with two outs. It's been an uneven second half for the veteran, who's posted four quality starts in six outings while also succumbing to two five-run blowups. He owns a 4.59 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 108:46 K:BB across 139.1 innings this season and lines up to face the Athletics at home next week.

Quality start in fifth win Lugo (5-7) earned the win against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out five.

Impact Lugo was pretty effective against a formidable Cubs lineup, tossing 61 of his 90 pitches for strikes while hanging on for a quality start after giving up his third run of the game in the sixth inning. Saturday's outing marked the 36-year-old right-hander's fourth quality start in his past five outings as well. Lugo will carry a pedestrian 4.41 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 104:46 K:BB over 134.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Anaheim against the Angels.

Shaky control in seventh loss Lugo (4-7) allowed five runs on five hits and five walks while striking out three over five-plus innings to take the loss versus the Rockies on Sunday.

Impact Lugo just didn't have his control in place Sunday -- the five walks were a season high. He threw 52 of 99 pitches for strikes. Lugo's been prone to a few bad starts this season, though he had posted three consecutive quality starts prior to this outing. He's produced a 4.41 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 99:45 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 23 starts on the year. The 36-year-old is tentatively projected for a home start versus the Cubs in his next outing.

Fires another quality start Lugo did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over six innings in a 3-2 loss against Minnesota. He struck out two.

Impact It's the third consecutive quality start and 13th of the campaign for Lugo, who still has only four wins through 22 starts. The veteran right-hander certainly isn't dominant -- with his 7.0 K/9 being the lowest since his rookie year -- and is prone to blowups with five starts of at least five runs allowed, but he still has decent numbers with a 4.22 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 96:40 K:BB over 123.2 innings.
