Marlins' Jesus Luzardo: Ties season high with eight Ks

Luzardo allowed two runs on two hits and four walks over 5.2 innings in a no-decision Thursday against the Mets. He also had eight strikeouts, matching his season high.

Luzardo brought in a run with a wild pitch in the first inning and gave up a solo homer to Javier Baez in the third but otherwise limited the damage while working into the sixth inning for the third straight start. After a rough start to his Miami career, Luzardo has settled in lately with a 2.60 ERA and 19:7 K:BB in 17.1 innings over his past three outings. He's tentatively lined up for a road matchup at Washington in his next scheduled start.
