Jesús Luzardo finished his start on Friday night by getting Kiké Hernández to swing and miss at a down-and-in slider, ending a seven-pitch at-bat and escaping a jam with runners on the corners. It was Luzardo’s eighth strikeout of the night, cementing a strong start to the 2025 season for himself and the Phillies’ starting rotation.
