McHugh (7-7) was blasted in just 1.2 innings Friday versus the Tigers. He allowed eight runs on ten hits while recording just one strikeout in the loss.
The outing was McHugh's worst since his opening start of the season against the Yankees (five runs in 0.1 inning) The right-hander entered the game with a 2.66 ERA in July, but it ballooned to 5.33, ruining what was shaping up to be his best month of the season so far. McHugh's rebound effort won't be easy as he'll take on a dangerous Blue Jays lineup Wednesday in his next start.
