Latest on Chatwood via Rotoworld: Chatwood recorded a rare quality start at Coors Field but still lost to the Reds on Thursday, yielding three runs over six innings. The first three batters of the game reached off of Chatwood, but he held the damage to one run that frame. He was in trouble most of the day with eight hits and four walks allowed but was able to escape without giving up too much damage. It was Chatwood’s third quality start in eight tries at Coors in the first half.
Lugo was charged with a season-high six runs over five innings in a loss to the Nationals on Tuesday. Lugo started out strong before the Nationals got to him in the third inning. He gave up five straight hits to begin the fifth inning, which put the game out of reach. Lugo’s ERA jumped from 3.55 to 4.75 with the clunker.
