Marlins' Jesus Luzardo: Ineffective through four

Luzardo pitched four innings, surrendering five runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two in Monday's victory over the Nationals.

The 23-year-old allowed four runs through four innings and was pulled after two reached base against him to open the fifth inning, one of whom would score. It was his second straight sub-par start, both of which were against the Nationals. In those two games, he has allowed nine runs, 13 hits and six walks over 8.1 innings. Luzardo will look to right the ship in his next expected start versus the Rays on Sunday.
