Luzardo allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over 6.1 innings in Friday's win over the Cubs. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.
Through six innings, the only damage against Luzardo came on a solo homer by Nelson Velazquez in the third, but the southpaw got charged with one more run in the seventh. He'd allowed 10 runs over his previous three starts but lowered his ERA to 3.48 after this outing. Luzardo has also forced double-digit whiffs in every start this year, including 13 on Friday. He's currently lined up for a rematch with the Cubs in Chicago next week.
