McHugh limited the Cardinals to one run over 6.2 innings Wednesday, but received no decision in an eventual 4-1 win. He struck out six while allowing seven hits and two walks.
He matched zeroes with Adam Wainwright almost all the way through this game, only to give up a run in the seventh, but the Astros rallied to ensure he avoided the loss. After consecutive four-run outings, this is a breath of fresh air for McHugh, but he's got a long way to go yet to correct his ugly season stats. That highly inflated .359 BABIP will come down, bringing his ratios down with it, but it's highly unlikely that we'll ever see him match the sort of elite numbers he put up two seasons ago -- not to mention last year's 19 wins.
