Earns first quality start
Hughes allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Analyse
Hughes had a bumpy first inning, when he allowed all three runs. He settled in well, ending up at 94 pitches (68 strikes) to earn a quality start. The 24-year-old right-hander has made two appearances in the majors so far and will likely continue to fill a rotation spot while Tomoyuki Sugano (back) is out. That said, Hughes carries some risk if he ends up sticking around, as he'll have Coors Field as a home park.

First MLB start on tap
Hughes will start Wednesday's game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
Analyse
Following his call-up from Triple-A Albuquerque last week, Hughes made his MLB debut out of the bullpen Friday, collecting a save while allowing three baserunners over three scoreless frames. The 24-year-old righty will now get the chance to make his first big-league start, joining the Colorado rotation as a replacement for the injured Tomoyuki Sugano (back). Prior to his promotion, Hughes had been working out of the Albuquerque rotation and posted a strong 48:11 K:BB in 40.2 innings, though pitching in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League inflated his ERA (5.31) and WHIP (1.29).
