One Sentence Summary: Jesus Luzardo made an adjustment, course correcting after two horrendous starts, and striking out 10 Cubs batters in this 7-2 win.
What It Means: That's more like it. The Phillies started to dig themselves out of their self-imposed hole, taking two out of three from the Cubs after their deflating weekend sweep by the Pirates. The Blue Jays come to town next for three games.
What Happened: Luzardo improved to 6-2, pitching six innings and allowing a run on five hits. He didn't walk a batter. The Phillies went up 3-0 in the first, getting clutch hits from Max Kepler (two-run double) and J.T. Realmuto (RBI single) with two outs. Kyle Schwarber hit a solo home run in the third, and Alec Bohm added a two-run single in the fourth. Bohm would homer in the seventh, his sixth of the year, giving the Phillies a comfortable lead for the first time in what seemed like forever. Bohm is batting .359 (14 for 39) so far in June, with a double, a home run and seven RBIs.
Featured Card: Here's Luzardo's first baseball card featuring him actually wearing a Phillies uniform, from the somewhat rare 2025 team-issued photo card set.
Transaction: In need of bullpen reinforcements, Michael Mercado (rhp) was recalled from Lehigh Valley and Carlos Hernandez (rhp) was designated for assignment. In 25 games with the Phillies, Hernandez was 1-0 with a 5.26 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 13 walks in 25 2/3 innings pitched.
