Astros pitcher Collin McHugh worked past a rough inning and received enough run support to pick up his sixth win of the season Tuesday night against the Orioles.
McHugh (6-2) surrendered a run-scoring single to Steve Pearce, a two-run triple to Ryan Flaherty and a run-scoring single to Manny Machado in the second inning. He settled down the rest of the way and was charged with four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over seven innings of a 6-4 victory.
McHugh has allowed four earned runs in back-to-back outings. He owns a 4.33 ERA, a 1.23 WHIP and 58:13 K:BB ratio over 70 2/3 innings pitched. His next start will come Sunday at Toronto.
