Arraez Has 2 Hits and 2 RBIs in Phillies Debut, Luzardo Tosses 8 Innings in 5-0 Win over Nationals
- On Tuesday, Luis Arraez made an immediate impact in his Philadelphia Phillies debut, collecting two hits and two RBIs to help defeat the Washington Nationals 5-0 at Citizens Bank Park.
- The Phillies acquired Arraez, a three-time batting champion, from the San Francisco Giants on Monday, prompting Manager Don Mattingly to shift MVP Bryce Harper to right field, Bryson Stott to third base, and Alec Bohm to first.
- All-Star lefty Jesús Luzardo allowed only four hits over eight innings, while Mattingly explained batting Arraez cleanup to 'split them a little bit, the lefties' and optimize scoring opportunities.
- The struggling Nationals lost their seventh consecutive game and suffered a pre-game blow when All-Star outfielder James Wood was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left oblique.
- In the third contest of this four-game set on Wednesday night, Washington RHP Jake Irvin opposes Philadelphia RHP Andrew Painter, with Irvin holding a 2-5 record and Painter entering at 6.72 ERA.
