Sugano (6-4) came away with the win against the Rays on Friday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two across five innings.

EDGE Analysis

It was far from a pretty outing for Sugano, who gave up home runs to Jonathan Aranda, Josh Lowe and Brandon Lowe as part of a six-run second inning. Sugano was able to complete five innings (giving up another run in the process), which qualified him for the win as the Orioles' batters lit up the Rays' pitching staff for 22 runs, the team's most since September 28, 2000 against the Blue Jays (23). Sugano posted a 3.04 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over his first 12 major-league starts, but he has struggled on the mound as of late with an 8.15 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across his last four outings, per Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun. Sugano is slated to face the Rangers on the road next week.
