McHugh (7-10) gave up three earned runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out six.
The veteran righty gave up a solo homer in the first to Josh Donaldson before settling down until the sixth. McHugh gave up back-to-back singles to Edwin Encarnacion and Michael Saunders before giving way to reliever James Hoyt, who promptly surrendered a three-run homer to Russell Martin that proved to be the difference in the game. McHugh has now dropped four straight decisions despite mustering quality starts in two of those outings. He'll try to get back in the win column when he faces the Orioles next Friday.
