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.

Collects fourth win Lugo (4-6) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks over seven inning in a 5-4 victory over the Giants. He struck out five.

Impact The veteran right-hander delivered his second straight quality start and 12th of the season on 94 pitches (63 strikes), and Lugo got rewarded for his efforts when the Kansas City offense erupted for five runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. The win was Lugo's first since June 19, and over five starts and 27.1 innings in July he's managed a 4.94 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB. He'll look to build on his recent success in his next outing, which is set to come on the road early next week in Minnesota.

Takes no-decision Friday Lugo allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings a no-decision Friday against the Padres.

Impact Lugo recorded six strong innings on 93 pitches despite not factoring into the decision against San Diego. The two runs Lugo allowed crossed the plate on the same play due to a fielding error by Michael Massey, which allowed both Ty France and Miguel Andujar to score in the top of the fifth. After making his 20th start of the year, the 36-year-old now maintains a 4.39 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 89:36 K:BB through 110.2 innings this season. Lugo is in line to make his next start Wednesday against the Giants.

Six Ks in no-decision Lugo took a no-decision Sunday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks in four innings. He struck out six.

Impact Just one of the hits allowed went for extra bases, though it was a two-run home run off the bat of Leody Taveras in the second inning. The 36-year-old right-hander looked spry to begin the campaign, posting a 1.15 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over his first five appearances, but he's limped to a 6.01 ERA and 1.65 WHIP while failing to produce a scoreless start across his last 14 outings. For the season, Lugo has a pedestrian 4.56 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 86:34 K:BB through 104.2 innings.
