EDGE Analysis

Lugo was coming off one of his best outings of the season, but he struggled mightily Thursday, serving up the most runs he has allowed in a game this season. Despite the rough outing Lugo figures to remain in the Mets' rotation and make his next start early next week against the Marlins.
