Tomoyuki Sugano was tagged for five runs on seven hits in five innings on Sunday as the Rockies were blanked by the Phillies, 6-0.
Fantasy Impact
Sugano served up three home runs in the first two innings as Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper went back-to-back in the first and then Schwarber got him again in the second. He allowed all five runs in the first two innings, then gave up just two singles over his final three frames as he did a good job of settling in and preserving the bullpen for as long as he could. Sugano has pitched to a 7.84 ERA in two starts this month, allowing nine runs on ten hits with a 3:3 K:BB ratio in 10.1 innings. Overall, he is 3-3 with a 4.07 ERA in eight starts this season and is scheduled to take on Arizona in his next start on Saturday.
Tomoyuki Sugano had a no-hitter through five innings on Monday, but allowed four runs in the sixth and suffered his second loss of the season - a 4-2 loss to the Mets.
Fantasy Impact
Sugano breezed through the Mets' lineup over the first five innings, allowing only a leadoff walk to Carson Benge in the third. Benge ended the no-hit bid - and the shutout bid - with a leadoff home run in the sixth. Sugano then allowed back-to-back doubles, a walk, and a groundout to end his day. Both runners who were on base after Sugano exited, ended up scoring. He threw only 61 pitches on the day with 48 of those getting him through the first five innings. Sugano has been good for the Rockies in his first season with Colorado and will take a 3-2 record, a 3.41 ERA, and a 1.14 WHIP into his next start in Philadelphia on Sunday.
Tomoyuki Sugano allowed four hits over 5 1/3 scoreless innings with two strikeouts and three walks in a win on Wednesday against the Reds.
Fantasy Impact
Sugano continues to impress, allowing two runs or fewer in four of five starts in April. He has looked like a viable streamer in deeper leagues in favorable matchups. He will face the Mets next.
Tomoyuki Sugano suffered his first loss of the season on Friday as the Dodgers won, 7-1, in Colorado. Sugano lasted four innings and allowed five runs on nine hits, walked two, and struck out three.
Fantasy Impact
Sugano endured his worst outing of the young season against the powerful Dodgers' lineup in Coors Field on Friday. He allowed season-highs in runs (5) and hits (9) with five of the hits (four doubles, one home run) going for extra bases. Sugano had not allowed more than two runs in each of his first four starts, but he has now allowed at least one home run in all five of his appearances. He'll carry a 1-1 record with a respectable 3.92 ERA into his next start, currently lined up against the Padres on Wednesday.
Tomoyuki Sugano pitched six innings on Friday and allowed two runs on four hits, did not walk a batter, and struck out three as the Rockies dropped a 5-2 decision to the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
Sugano (1-0) made two mistakes on the night as the righthander allowed solo home runs to Gavin Sheets and Luis Campusano in the span of three batters in the bottom of the fifth. Sugano needed only 81 pitches to get through six innings and he now sports a 12:3 K:BB ratio through 16.2 innings. He will take a 2.16 ERA and a 0.78 WHIP into his next start at Houston next week.
