Phillies' mind-boggling choice vs. Shohei Ohtani put Jesús Luzardo in impossible spot
[]
That Balls Outta Here Feed
Unfortunately, after keeping his team in the game, trailing just 3-0 through seven innings, Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo was hung out to dry.
Instead of a left-handed batter lower in the lineup, Luzardo was tasked with facing Shohei Ohtani, only the best player in the game, for a fourth time.
The sweeper that Luzardo left out of the plate made for an easy 51st round-tripper for Ohtani.
He finished with a line of four runs on six hits (two homers) with six strikeouts and just one walk in seven innings.
This was the eighth time that Luzardo has completed at least seven innings this year.
