Related Topics: Seth Lugo, Solid, Mickey Callaway, Lugo, Season

Seth Lugo's first start of the season after excelling in the bullpen was a shortened success.

Mickey Callaway and his staff knew Lugo wasn't ready to be stretched out for a full start and expected to be able to throw around 60 pitches, which is exactly how many he threw. Over four innings, Lugo didn't allow a run on three hits with three strikeouts.

In the first inning, Lugo retired the first two Cubs' hitters before allowing a two-out double to Kris Bryant. Lugo retired Rizzo to strand Bryant on second base.
