Getting into regular-season form
PKansas City Royals
March 8, 2025
Lugo gave up one run in 2.2 innings with five strikeouts and two walks in Friday's spring start. He has a 8.22 ERA with a 9:3 K:BB ratio over 7.2 innings this spring.
ANALYSIS
Lugo improved after giving up three runs in each of his first three spring starts, as his five strikeouts showed he's nearly in regular-season form. However, spring stats hardly matter for the veteran, who is locked in as the No. 2 starter for the Royals. Lugo won 16 games with a 3.00 ERA over a league-high 33 regular-season starts last season. A 21.7 percent strikeout rate left something to be desired, but Lugo provided so much volume with a surprising 206.2 innings that he accumulated 181 punchouts.
