Lugo (13-7) took the loss Tuesday as the Royals were routed 13-3 by the Twins, surrendering eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits and two walks over four-plus innings. He struck out four.
Minnesota put runs on the board in four of the five innings Lugo worked, including three in the fifth after the veteran right-hander put the first four batters he faced on the bases before getting the hook. Lugo's amazing beginning to the season has wilted in the summer heat -- he's allowed at least five runs in four of his last six starts, stumbling to a 5.73 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB through 37.2 innings over that stretch. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Angels.
