Seth Lugo dominated Friday night.
Facing the Houston Astros in his sixth start of the season, Lugo threw a gem, having by far his best outing of the season as the Royals prevailed 2-0. During his previous starts, Lugo had tossed no more than 6.2 innings, but this time he went a full eight while completely shutting down the Astros offense.
After allowing three earned runs in his last start against the Tigers, in which he labored through 6-and-two-thirds over 105 pitches, Lugo efficiently silenced the Astros bats in just 94 pitches, allowing only three hits and one walk while fanning a season-high eight batters.
