Collin McHugh: After struggling a lot in April, McHugh is doing a bit better in May with a 3.87 (1.33), but has allowed four home runs in four starts and Houston has lost back to back games he started. McHugh hasn't done well at home in five starts despite pitching well for his career at Beverage Maker Park, but not all that well against Baltimore in three starts.

It took 13 innings, but the Astros outlast the Orioles and win 3-2 which is the second loss in a row for the Orioles as the offensive drought continues until the next blowout. I'm tired, but so are both bullpens. The rest of the series should be interesting.

Ok, so Tyler Wilson may be entering a window where he will need to adjust to the league (inevitable at some point) while McHugh's track record against the Orioles isn't good either nor are his early home numbers in five starts this season. Who knows?

Boston won today extending their streak to a +3 and the Yankees extend their streak to +6 as they have suddenly found some momentum and now find themselves in a much better situation than they were a couple weeks ago. In the Central, the White Sox continue to fall allowing the Indians to pull within 1.5 games and KC within two and both those teams have won seven of 10 while the Sox have lost seven of 10. Detroit has also climbed above .500 having won four in a row and eight of 10 to within three games of the lead. The Central is suddenly a very tight division with the Twins being the only weak team. In the West, the M's and A's are still early in their game and Texas won today six games up on the third place Angels whom they beat.

I like the shuffling of the lineup, particularly with the offense doing as badly as they have been lately.

Have Machado lead-off to give the opposing pitcher an immediate daunting challenge, and give Schoop a puncher's chance at a home run or a double in his 4 or 5 plate appearances immediately afterward.

ooo :Doooooo :Doooooo :D
