Jesús Luzardo made a strong comeback for the Philadelphia Phillies, striking out 11 batters in his debut after nearly ten months out. The lefty had previously struggled with the Miami Marlins, notching a win before a back injury sidelined him for the remainder of the season. His performance against the Washington Nationals showcased his powerful sweeper pitch, which he used effectively alongside a fastball reaching 97 mph. Teammates like Bryson Stott and Kyle Schwarber praised Luzardo's electric presence on the mound, highlighting his ability to adapt and excel against hitters.
