Punches out seven Saturday

Lugo took a no-decision Saturday against the Brewers, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out seven.

Analysis

Lugo built off a successful season debut, when he permitted five hits across 6.1 shutout innings against Atlanta, and he perhaps most notably escaped bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning Saturday. The right-hander took on a full workload in his second start, launching 103 pitches, and he also generated a respectable 10 whiffs. Lugo has a favorable matchup versus the division-rival White Sox on tap for his next start, so he should continue to hold streaming appeal.
