McHugh (5-5) pitched seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits while walking one and striking out six Tuesday against the Angels. He did not factor in the decision.
For the first time this season, McHugh has put together back-to-back quality starts. He need 111 pitches -- his second highest total of the season -- to lower his ERA to a season-best 4.70. McHugh has only won one of his last eight starts, but he's pitched well enough to win a handful of them. Despite his recent improvement, the 29-year-old seemingly has no chance to repeat many (if any) of the numbers from last season's breakout performance.
