Sugano (5-4) allowed two runs on five hits, two walks and a hit batsman while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Angels on Tuesday.
Analysis:
Sugano kept the ball in the yard for the third time in four starts, a span in which he's given up a modest nine runs over 21.1 innings. The right-hander has displayed decent command with a 12:6 K:BB in that span as well, though his limited strikeout potential and tough home park continue to depress his fantasy value. For the season, he's at a 3.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB through 63.1 innings over 12 starts, making him arguably the most reliable Colorado pitcher. Sugano's next start is projected to be a tougher one at home versus the Cubs.
