Marlins' Jesus Luzardo: Tosses six shutout frames

Luzardo (5-7) allowed a hit and a walk over six scoreless innings Sunday, striking out eight and earning a win over the Reds.

Luzardo got off to a shaky start, yielding a double and a walk to the first two batters of the game. Over the next five innings, only one Red would reach base and it was due to a fielding error. It's just the second time this year that the 23-year-old southpaw finished at least six innings, and he matched his season high of eight strikeouts. He's now 3-3 since joining the Marlins despite an unsightly 7.62 ERA during that span. Luzardo is lined up to face the Phillies at home next weekend.
