EDGE Analysis
Only one Miami baserunner even reached scoring position while Lugo was on the mound.

Lugo (4-6) took the loss Monday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.1 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Lugo cruised through the first three innings and was spotted a large lead after his offense put up a five-spot in the third. However, the 33-year-old veteran was unable to make it out of the fourth, coughing up eight runs in the frame on six hits, including a Mookie Betts grand slam that delivered the knock-out blow. Lugo had been pitching well prior to Monday's outing, posting a 3.04 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 50:8 K:BB in 47.1 innings since returning from the injured list June 20. He will look to rebound in his next start, which is projected to come on the road against Arizona over the weekend.

Lugo (4-5) took the loss Wednesday, giving up two runs on three hits over seven innings as the Padres fell 3-2 to the Pirates. He struck out eight without walking a batter.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander generated an eye-popping 31 called or swinging strikes on only 84 pitches, but he got little run support and left the mound down 2-1 after solo shots by Ji-Man Choi in the second inning and Bryan Reynolds in the fourth. Lugo has delivered four quality starts in his last five outings, and since returning to the rotation in mid-June he's posted a 3.12 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 41:5 K:BB through 40.1 innings. He faces a tough challenge in his next start, however, which is likely to come early next week in Coors Field.

Since returning from the injured list June 20, the right-hander has pitched fairly well, posting a 3.24 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB over six appearances (33.1 innings).

Lugo did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing five runs on seven hits over 5.1 innings against Philadelphia. He struck out five.
EDGE Analysis
After logging quality starts in each of his last two appearances Lugo was unable to find a third, giving up five runs and failing to get out of the sixth inning. All of the damage against Lugo came late, as he held the Phillies scoreless until the fifth and retired 12 of his first 13 batters. in his final 1.1 innings of work, Lugo surrendered two solo homers, a pair of doubles and two singles as Philadelphia put up five runs and reclaimed the lead. Despite Sunday's rocky outing, Lugo has been a reliable starting option, owning a 3.78 ERA and a 64:13 K:BB through 13 starts (69.0 innings). He's tentatively lined up to make his next start during a three-game road series against the Tigers.

Lugo allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and one walk over six innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Wednesday. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Lugo was sharp in the outing, throwing 62 of 99 pitches for a strike and racking up 18 whiffs. He departed in line for the win, but Nick Martinez gave up a solo homer in the seventh that removed Lugo as the pitcher of record. Nonetheless, Lugo continued his string of strong performance since returning from a five-week stay on the injured list June 20. Over four starts since his activation, the right-hander has posted a 2.05 ERA and a sterling 21:2 K:BB across 22 innings, though a lack of run support has kept him from notching any wins during that stretch.
