Phil Hughes

Phil Hughes allowed three runs over six innings yesterday to earn his first victory in 17 starts, dating back to last July, in Minnesota’s 8-3 win at Kansas City. For all his struggles, one thing Hughes has unfailingly done is turn a big lead into a victory, and Sunday was no different as the Twins staked him to a 5-0 lead in their first five turns at-bat. Hughes has a 32-0 record as a starter when given a lead of four or more runs, and his teams are 37-0 in those games.
