Hughes Smacked Around in Return

Well, so much for that 8 1/3 of no-hit ball, huh? Phil Hughes, making his return to the Yankees rotation, showed signs of brilliance here and there. However, at the end of the day, he gave up a 6-2 lead to the Royals, lasting only 4 1/3 innings while giving up 7 hits, 6 earned runs and striking out 5.

All in all, the outing had massive highs (striking out the side in the 2nd inning) and some horrible lows (4 runs given up in the top of the 5th), but for his first start back since May 1st, we can't complain too much. Hughes remains an immense talent and now might be a good time to swoop in and attempt to acquire him, especially in keeper leagues.
