Astros starter Collin McHugh was excellent in his outing against the Rays on Thursday. Unfortunately for him, he was on the wrong end of a Chris Archer one-hit shutout, as the Astros lost 1-0. McHugh did his part however, allowing one run on five hits over seven solid innings. He walked two and struck out five.
McHugh (13-7, 3.96 ERA) has been outstanding in August. In four starts this month, the right-hander is 1-2 but owns a very impressive 1.67 ERA over 27 innings.
