McHugh (2-3) needed 101 pitches to get through five innings in Seattle on Wednesday, but allowed just two runs on five hits and a walk en route to the win. He struck out three.
The 28-year-old hurler has been less than impressive to open the year, with one sparkling start against the Royals having been buried by four outings that don't inspire a ton of confidence. This one doesn't either -- if this is what qualifies as a good start from McHugh, he and his fantasy owners are in for a long season.
