Luzardo delivers five strong innings as Phillies take Game 1

Original: Luzardo blows past opener label with 5 strong frames in Game 1 https://www. mlb.com/news/jesus-luzardo-sta rts-for-phill

Jesús Luzardo pitched five strong innings in Game 1 of the National League Wild Card Series in Atlanta, outdoing his pre-game label as an 'opener'. Braves manager Walt Weiss had been skeptical when Don Mattingly described Luzardo that way, and the left-hander's performance against Atlanta answered any doubts about his role.

Why now: The Phillies' playoff win and Luzardo's strong outing in a high-stakes Wild Card game are drawing attention.
