McHugh (3-3) gave up four runs on five hits with one walk while striking out two through six innings in a loss against the Twins on Wednesday.
McHugh was sluggish through six innings, and the big problem area was the third inning, when he allowed five baserunners and three runs to score. After beginning the season with a 1.96 ERA in his first four starts, the 31-year-old has struggled in his last three outings. He has a 3-3 record with a 4.97 ERA and 39:11 K:BB through seven starts this season. McHugh will make his next start Tuesday against the Royals.
