Sugano didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Boston, allowing one unearned run on five hits and no walks with three strikeouts over five innings.
Sugano hasn't allowed more than one run in four of his last five starts, and he hasn't taken a loss since July 2. Limiting power has been critical to Sugano's recent success, as he's allowed just one home run over his last five starts after yielding 20 long balls in his previous 19 outings. The 35-year-old rookie has a 3.97 ERA and 85:32 K:BB across 131.1 innings this season. He's slated for a rematch with the Red Sox early next week.

Rotowire
Sugano came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out five.

Sugano swooned a bit in late June and early July, getting tagged for 13 runs in 9.2 innings across two starts, but in his last four outings he's posted a somewhat more palatable 4.35 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB over 20.2 innings.

Orioles' Tomoyuki Sugano: Continues to get knocked around
Rotowire
Sugano (6-5) took the loss Wednesday against the Rangers, giving up six runs on 10 hits and one walk in 4.2 innings. He struck out five.
After yielding a career-high seven runs on nine hits his last time out, Sugano's struggles dragged into Wednesday's start. The right-hander had surrendered greater than three runs on a lone occasion through his first 15 outings of the year, but he's now been knocked around for 13 runs on 19 hits over his last two appearances. Sugano has posted a 8.87 ERA, 2.15 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across his past five starts (22.1 innings), so he appears to be difficult to trust in his next scheduled outing at home versus a tough Mets lineup.
Sugano (6-4) came away with the win against the Rays on Friday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out two across five innings.
It was far from a pretty outing for Sugano, who gave up home runs to Jonathan Aranda, Josh Lowe and Brandon Lowe as part of a six-run second inning. Sugano was still able to complete five innings, which qualified him for the win as the Orioles' batters lit up the Rays' pitching staff for 22 runs, the team's most since Sept. 28, 2000. Sugano posted a 3.04 ERA and 1.04 WHIP over his first 12 major-league starts, but he has struggled on the mound as of late with an 8.15 ERA and 2.04 WHIP across his last four outings, as Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun notes.

Rotowire
Sugano did not factor into the decision in Friday's win against the Yankees, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four across 3.2 innings.
Sugano found himself in hot water in the first inning after issuing two walks and a single to load the bases, but he managed to limit the damage to two runs. He gave up another run on an Aaron Judge solo homer in the third, and Sugano wasn't able to make it through the fourth after tossing 89 pitches (56 strikes). Sugano has fallen short of five innings in each of his last three starts and now sports a 3.55 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 50:17 K:BB across 83.2 innings this season. He's tentatively slated to make his next start against the Rangers at home next week.
Sugano settled for the no-decision after throwing 4.2 innings and allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Angels.
Sugano didn't make it through the fifth inning for the second straight start, but he battled to limit the damage to just three runs and keep the Orioles in the game. The 35-year-old has allowed four or fewer runs in all of his 13 starts, pitching to a 3.38 ERA on the season. The right-hander is likely to make his next start on the road at Tampa Bay.
