Taking Jorge De La Rosa's place, Rockies pitcher Collin McHugh got the call to start Monday at home against the Cardinals. Although he didn't end up factoring into the decision, McHugh was outstanding in his performance.

The starter allowed just one earned run on four hits and no walks over five innings and 72 pitches. His bullpen allowed his lead to evaporate after he left and he settled for the no-decision. He struck out two and lowered his ERA to 7.94 on the year.

Making his second start since coming over from the Mets -- and first since July 27 -- McHugh was solid on Monday night. That said, he's not expected to remain in the rotation as this was just considered a spot start for the Rockies.
