McHugh (9-10) threw six shutout innings and allowed just four hits and a walk with five strikeouts in the win Tuesday against Oakland.
McHugh logged his first quality start since August 8 and his first start with fewer than three runs allowed since July 23. He was downright nasty Tuesday night, as he induced 20 swinging strikes on 102 pitches and allowed just one baserunner to even get past second base. McHugh has had a major struggle with the home run ball this year, with four multi-homer starts and 23 total homers allowed in 27 starts. Until he figures that out, starts like this will be few and far between.
