Gabriel Hughes allowed three earned runs over 4 2/3 innings while striking out six, earning a no-decision in Friday’s loss to the Mariners.
Hughes allowed a leadoff homer to J.P. Crawford to open the game, which was followed by back-to-back doubles from Randy Arozarena and Dominic Canzone. He would strike out Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez to get the first two outs of the inning, but allowed a two-RBI single to Josh Naylor to put his team down 3-0 before finally getting out of the inning. Those would be the only three runs Hughes would allow on the night, as he would settle in to pitch 3 2/3 scoreless innings the rest of the way while striking out four hitters over that span and allowing just one hit. Despite the rough start, Hughes would turn out a solid performance overall and has now allowed three earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. Hughes will make his final start of the on Thursday against the Diamondbacks.
