We all got a pretty good look at what Royals right-hander Seth Lugo can do Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley Field when he held the Cubs to four hits and two runs in six innings of work, with six strikeouts.
This has been pretty typical work for Lugo since he signed with the Padres before the 2023 season and became a full-time starter, after seven effective years as (mostly) a reliever with the Mets.
Lugo had an excellent season in 2024, posting 5.4 bWAR, a 3.00 ERA and 1.089 WHIP. All of that got him second place in American League Cy Young voting.
