Lugo continued his solid run of starts, tossing seven innings of one-run ball to earn the victory in the Mets' 5-1 win over the Nationals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Lugo has 2.19 ERA in his four starts, stepping into the breach created by the absences of Matt Harvey, Steven Matz and now, Jacob deGrom. He scattered six hits without allowing a walk and struck out four in the victory. Lugo is locked into the third or fourth spot in the rotation; that number dependent on how many starters are out injured.
