Overview

• Jesús Luzardo became just the third pitcher in Phillies history to start a season unbeaten with a sub-2.00 ERA through his first 10 starts, joining Ranger Suárez (2024) and Grover Alexander (1913).
• In his latest start against the Rockies, Luzardo struck out 10 batters, allowed one earned run, and pitched into the sixth inning to preserve the bullpen.
• Luzardo’s performance has validated the Phillies’ December trade with Miami, which aimed to reinforce the starting rotation for sustained competitiveness.
• Manager Rob Thomson praised Luzardo’s durability and competitiveness, describing him as a ‘grinder’ who consistently delivers quality starts.
• The Phillies, now on a five-game winning streak, have benefited from Luzardo’s ability to pitch deep into games, conserving bullpen arms and stabilizing the rotation.
