One Sentence Summary: Jesus Luzardo was shelled in his second consecutive start and the Phillies offense was once again quiet in this 9-1 loss to the Blue Jays.
What It Means: As pointed out by Matt Gelb, the Phillies scored six runs on Tuesday night in the first inning and then only four more runs for the rest of the series. They'll open up a weekend series in Pittsburgh tonight against the last place Pirates.
What Happened: Luzardo couldn't escape the third inning. His final line - 2 1/3 innings, eight runs on nine hits, two walks and two strikeouts. Weston Wilson was again called upon to pitch and threw a scoreless eighth inning. Nick Castellanos was 3 for 3, with the rest of the line-up accounting for two more hits on the day. They pushed across a run in the sixth on a Kyle Schwarber RBI single.
Featured Card / Transaction: Jose Rodriguez (inf) suspended for a year due to gambling, was reinstated from the restricted list and non-tendered, becoming a free agent. Rodriguez came to the Phillies last April when his contract was purchased from the White Sox. He played in 38 games for Reading before the suspension was handed down, and I've been seeing his name for the past year on the team's roster. With no other deserving choices for this game, here's Rodriguez's rookie card, marking his one game with the White Sox in 2023.
