52-42, Tied for 2nd Place, 3 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: All-Star Jesus Luzardo pitched his best game of the season with fellow All-Star Jhoan Duran locking down his 23rd save in this 1-0 victory over the Reds.
What It Means: The Phillies are living and dying with their pitching, either getting blown out or relying on a gem from one of Cristopher Sanchez, Zack Wheeler or Luzardo. The surging and surprising Marlins have re-entered the chat, with the Phillies now tied with them for second place in the East.
What Happened: Luzardo allowed a pair of hits and struck out 11 in his gem, improving to 8-4 on the season. Jonathan Bowlan pitched a perfect eighth and Duran struck out a pair in the ninth to preserve the win. The Phillies scored their only run in the eighth. Gabriel Rincones, Jr. was hit by a pitch to start the inning, with Derek Hill coming in to run for him. J.T. Realmuto grounded out to short, moving Hill to second, and Justin Crawford singled to right, bringing Hill home with the manufactured run.
Featured Card: In his last five starts, Luzardo is 3-0 with a 1.42 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 31 2/3 innings pitched. The Phillies are 5-0 in those games. This is his team-issued photo card.
Transaction: Three days in a row with a bullpen move . . . Tanner Banks (lhp) was placed on the injured list with a left forearm strain and Chase Shugart (rhp) returned from the IronPigs.
