Jesús Luzardo Tabbed to Open Wild Card Game for Phillies

Jesús Luzardo is tabbed to take the mound to open up the wild card series for the Philadelphia Phillies against the Atlanta Braves. Luzardo previously faced the Braves once during the regular season and made it count with a dominant shutout performance, giving up just two hits while recording 12 strikeouts. The Phillies enter the postseason needing a strong start from him to counter a tough Atlanta matchup at Truist Park.
