Astros starter Collin McHugh struck out nine, but took the loss Sunday afternoon at home against Miami, dropping to 4-9 on the year. Making his first start back from the disabled list, the right-hander was charged with four runs on seven hits and one walk over 6 1/3 innings of a 4-2 defeat.

McHugh has lost six consecutive decisions. Over his last three starts covering 16 1/3 innings, McHugh has allowed 11 earned runs. He owns a 3.45 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP over 15 starts (88 2/3 innings). He'll look to pick up the pieces and get back on track Friday at home against Toronto.
