Musgrove allowed two runs on three hits and three walks across six innings Friday versus the Cubs. He struck out five while falling to 2-4 in the 2-0 loss.
Musgrove tossed a quality start and his only mistake came on a two-run home run to Kris Bryant, but his offense failed to bail him out as opposing starter John Lester shut them down. It was a nice bounceback start for Musgrove after allowing five runs to Texas last time out, and he has started to exhibit some noticeable home-away splits, as Friday's outing brought his ERA at Minute Maid Park to 1.19 compared to 8.71 on the road. The sample size is still small, but the early results indicate that he could be in for another solid outing Wednesday at home to the aforementioned Rangers club.
