Luzardo came once the low-scoring contest went to extra-innings and looked sharp in a flawless 10th inning. He ran into some trouble in the ensuing frame and was lifted with two outs after Max Muncy singled to put the winning run at third base. He was charged with the series-deciding run when reliever Orion Kerkering uncorked an errant throw with the bases loaded to allow the Dodgers to advance in walk-off fashion.

Luzardo settled in nicely following a rocky opening frame in his Phillies postseason debut, retiring 17 straight batters after issuing a first-inning walk to Teoscar Hernández and keeping Los Angeles’ star-studded lineup scoreless into the middle innings. Things unraveled in the seventh when Hernández led off with a single and Freddie Freeman followed with a double to end his night. The 28-year-old southpaw was ultimately charged with two runs after Orion Kerkering allowed both inherited runners to score. He finished with five strikeouts and only issued one free pass, but was still saddled with a loss in the low-scoring affair.

Ranger Suárez will be available out of the bullpen for Saturday’s series-opening Game 1 matchup behind ace Cristopher Sánchez, if needed. Luzardo draws the starting assignment for Monday’s showdown at Citizens Bank Park before the series shifts to Los Angeles on Thursday for Game 3. The Phillies are going with an all-hands-on-deck approach to the early stages of the best-of-five series against the defending World Series champions, which likely puts Sánchez and Suárez in line to take the ball for either Game 3 or 4, if necessary.

Luzardo was practically unhittable here against his former club. He worked his sinker, changeup, and sweeper beautifully low in the zone and mixed enough high fastballs to change the hitters’ eye levels. In all, he forced 21 swings-and-misses including eight with that changeup and at least three with each of his four different pitches. This was his third straight start completing at least seven innings too and his average fastball velocity has steadily risen through September. He could be primed for a huge postseason.

Luzardo allowed a pair of runs in the second, another in the third, and gave up a solo homer to Shohei Ohtani in the eighth before exiting. The left-hander was mostly solid, but was going to have to be spectacular to match Blake Snell (7 IP, 0 ER, 12 SO) in this contest. Luzardo now has a 4.08 ERA in his first year with the Phillies, and he’s scheduled to face the Marlins — his former club — in his final regular season start with a chance to lower that number.

The 27-year-old southpaw piled up 10 strikeouts on the night while allowing just five hits and zero walks. All of the damage done against him came in the opening inning as the Mets used five hits to push across four runs. Luzardo got Jeff McNeil to line into a double play to end that threat and then retired each of the next 21 batters he faced over the next seven innings. He got 15 swings and misses on 97 pitches on the night — nine of them on his sweeper — while posting an elite CSW of 39 percent. Now 14-6 on the season, Luzardo will carry a 4.03 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 200/56 K/BB ratio (169 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s showdown against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Luzardo tossed three scoreless innings before giving up two runs on four hits in the fourth. He gave the Phillies two more scoreless frames, ending his day with eight strikeouts over six innings while in line for the win. The 27-year-old left-hander will take a 4.01 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and a 190/56 K/BB ratio across 161 2/3 innings into a start against the Mets in Philadelphia on Thursday.

The 27-year-old southpaw punched out seven batters in the impressive outing. Both of the hits that he allowed in the game were singles and the Braves offense never really threatened against him. He exited with a 1-0 lead and in line for a victory, but the Braves scratched out a run in the eighth to tie it. Luzardo got 12 swings and misses on 104 pitches on the night — seven on his sweeper — while registering a CSW of 30 percent. He’ll bring a 4.05 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 182/52 K/BB ratio (155 2/3 innings) into Saturday’s matchup against the Marlins in Miami.

Luzardo was unhappy with home plate ump Willie Traynor from the get-go tonight, and he was officially ejected after being removed from the game. All four runs against Luzardo came in the fifth, though he wasn’t especially sharp before that. Besides allowing five hits, he walked three and hit two batters, which was odd from a pitcher who’d previously plunked just one guy all year. He’s due to make his next start Sunday against the Braves.

Julio Rodríguez’s first-inning homer was the only damage. The 12 strikeouts is Luzardo’s high total since he fanned 13 on July 23, 2023. He previously struck out 12 twice in 2022. It’s the fifth time this year that he’s been in double figures, and he’s tied for seventh in the majors with 170 strikeouts on the season. Luzardo will face the Mets next week.

Luzardo gave up only a Paul De Jong solo homer through six innings, but he loaded the bases with no outs to open the seventh. Orion Kerkering took over and got a popup for the first out, but he then gave up a two-run single past the drawn-in infield that probably would have been an out if the Phillies had been playing back. Luzardo ended up with 17 whiffs and a 32% CSW tonight. He’ll be a fine option next week in a home start against the Mariners.

Luzardo struck out four and walked one in winning a third straight start and improving to 4-0 in his last six outings. He’s 11-5 with a 4.20 ERA ahead of a favorable matchup against the Nationals next week.

Luzardo gave up five hits, walked none and struck out seven. The 27-year-old left-hander has struck out exactly seven batters in six of his last eight starts. Luzardo has a 4.32 ERA and 147/44 K/BB ratio in 127 innings this year. He’s lined up to face the Rangers on the road this weekend.

The timing of this report is interesting considering Luzardo just had a dominant start on Tuesday against the White Sox. We would guess that a move like this would only happen towards the very end of the season if Aaron Nola comes back healthy, and the Phillies are planning to utilize a four-man rotation for the postseason.

The 27-year-old southpaw punched out four batters on the night while allowing only one base on balls. The only threat against him came in the opening inning where the White Sox loaded the bases with two outs courtesy of a single, walk and an error, but Luzardo squashed that by getting Colson Montgomery to fly out to center field. He got just six swings and misses on 90 pitches in the ballgame, registering a CSW of only 23 percent. Now 9-5 on the season, he’ll bring a 4.31 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 140/44 K/BB ratio (121 innings) into Monday’s tilt against the Orioles.

Things were going great for Luzardo early. He shut the Red Sox out over four innings while his lineup spotted him a five-run lead and he was putting his pitches wherever he wanted them. Then, he completely lost his command when that fight inning came around. He walked four batters – two which forced runs home – before leaving a changeup in the heart of the plate which Romy Gonzalez turned around for a grand slam. This is now consecutive starts where Luzardo has fallen apart in the fifth inning and three out of four where he’s pitched poorly. He’ll have another chance to get things right in his next start against the White Sox.

The Phillies offense spotted Luzardo a nice lead early, but he couldn’t hold it. Jorge Soler took him deep in the second inning, Jo Adell socked a two-run homer in the fourth, then Luzardo walked in a run in the fifth and was promptly removed from the game. Luckily for him, reliever Max Lazar kept the bases stranded and somewhat saved his final line. While his sweeper continues to be a weapon, the rest of his pitches forced just five total swings-and-misses and the two homers came on a fastball and changeup respectively. This relatively poor start shouldn’t alter our outlook of Luzardo moving forward though because again that sweeper helps him generate strikeouts at a rate few other starters can match. His next start is scheduled to come at home against the Red Sox.

Luzardo will be followed by Taijuan Walker on Saturday and Ranger Suarez on Sunday afternoon. Zack Wheeler will start the first game against the Red Sox on Monday with Cristopher Sanchez rounding out the Phillies’ rotation on Tuesday. Fantasy managers in weekly leagues should be sure to get Wheeler and Sanchez out of lineups for the upcoming weekend if possible.

Luzardo retired 17 of the final 18 batters he faced to finish the first half on a high note, completing seven frames for the first time since May 25. The 27-year-old southpaw limited San Francisco’s lineup to just three hits and one walk, while getting nearly two touchdowns worth of run support from Philadelphia’s offense. It’s been an up-and-down first half for Luzardo in his Phillies debut as he’s paired top-of-the-rotation flashes with maddeningly inconsistent stretches. He’ll carry a solid 4.14 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 122/36 K/BB ratio across 104 1/3 innings (19 starts) into the All-Star break.

Luzardo was perfect in the first and allowed only an unearned run in the second before a disastrous third that opened with a bunt single and then went walk, single, double, double, single before the left-hander was pulled. Luzardo had four strikeouts and 12 missed swings, so that wasn’t a problem. Only three of the balls in play against him were hit hard. It’s his third particularly ugly outing in his last seven starts, but only in the first of those was he truly hit hard. He does need to get the walk rate back down, though; he issued three free passes today and he’s given up 11 in 18 2/3 innings over his last four starts. He’s slated to face the Giants on Wednesday.

Luzardo did allow seven hits and three walks, but the punchouts helped keep the Atlanta offense in check. Just not in check enough to get a win with Spencer Schwellenbach dominating the Philadelphia lineup. Luzardo now has an ERA of 4.06 on the season, but he’s been better than that much for the overwhelming majority of the season. He’ll face off against the Reds on Friday and look for a similar outing with more run support.

The 27-year-old southpaw scattered just three hits and one walk during the magnificent evening. The only real threat against him came in the fourth inning as the Mets put two men on with two outs, but Luzardo got Luis Torrens to ground into a fielder’s choice to end the threat. Luzardo got 19 swings and misses on 107 pitches on the evening — seven of those on his sweeper — while registering a strong CSW of 33 percent. Now 7-3 on the season, he’ll carry a 4.08 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 104/29 K/BB ratio (90 1/3 innings) into Saturday’s showdown against the Braves in Atlanta.

It was two runs through five, but Luzardo walked the first two batters of the sixth, leading to his removal. The runners then came around to score off Tanner Banks. It goes down as Luzardo’s third poor outing in four starts, but he wasn’t hit particularly hard in giving up a homer and five singles. His four walks led to three of the four runs. Luzardo is likely to make his next start Sunday against the Mets.

The run never should have happened. Carson Kelly would have fouled out to right, but Nick Castellanos botched the routine play, overrunning the ball. Since Castellanos didn’t touch it, no error was called, and Kelly went on to double and later come around to score. Luzardo gave up 20 runs in his previous two starts, taking his ERA from 2.15 to 4.46, but he didn’t seem to be having any stuff issues in the process. He got 16 missed swings today and threw 70 of his 99 pitches for strikes while going without a walk. He’ll face his former team next week in Miami.

Luzardo was on the short list of the game’s best pitches over the first two months. Now, he’s given up 20 runs in two starts, taking his ERA from 2.15 all of the way up to 4.46. Luzardo just couldn’t stop the bleeding in the second and third today. His velocity was fine, and only five of the 15 balls in play against him were hard-hit. We’re not worried about him at this point, though we wouldn’t blame anyone for sitting him down for his home start against the Cubs next week.

It was an outing to forget for Luzardo. He got into trouble early, allowing a run in on a walk and two hits before Rhys Hoskins took him deep for a three-run homer to make it a 4-0 game before recording an out. He seemed to settle down for two scoreless frames before the Brewers brought eight more runs in to score in the fourth, including a three-run blast by Hoskins. Luzardo’s day would be done with one out in the frame. He struck out four. The 27-year-old left-hander will look to bounce back when he takes a 3.58 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and an 81/22 K/BB ratio across 70 1/3 innings into a start against the Pirates in Pittsburgh on Friday.

The 27-year-old southpaw allowed nine hits and one walk on the afternoon. All of the damage done against him came in the opening inning as Jacob Wilson smacked a leadoff homer and Logan Davidson added a two-run double. Luzardo then took over and kept the Athletics off the board over his final six frames, affording his club the opportunity to come back. Luzardo exited with a 4-3 lead and in line for his sixth victory, but the Phillies’ bullpen was unable to hang on for him. He generated 18 swings and misses on 105 pitches on the afternoon — nine on his sweeper — while posting an elite CSW of 36 percent. He’ll tote an impressive 2.15 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 77/19 K/BB ratio (67 innings) into Saturday’s battle against the Brewers.

Luzardo was outstanding in Colorado, holding the Rockies to one run over six innings on three walks and two hits. He struck out ten batters on 12 whiffs. The 27-year-old left-hander has posted an excellent 1.95 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and a 67/18 K/BB ratio across 60 innings into a start against the Athletics in Sacramento on Saturday.

The 27-year-old southpaw punched out four batters on the evening while issuing two free passes. All of the damage done against him came from Junior Caminero, who slugged a solo homer in the opening inning and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the third inning. Luzardo generated 13 swings and misses on 105 pitches on the evening — seven on his sweeper alone — while registering a CSW of 29 percent. He’ll bring a 2.11 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and a 51/13 K/BB ratio (47 innings) into Tuesday’s showdown against the Cardinals.

Luzardo left with the Phillies down 2-1, but the offense picked him up to keep him without a loss on the season. His ERA stands at 1.94, and he has a 46/11 K/BB in 41 2/3 innings. He’ll face the Rays next.
