Fresh Off Gem for Phillies, Ex-Marlin Jesus Luzardo Takes Hill
Jesus Luzardo and Chris Paddack are the probable starters as Miami tries to extend its 11-7 home record and Philadelphia looks to improve on a 5-10 road mark.
On Sunday, the Philadelphia Phillies host the Miami Marlins at 1:40 p.m. EDT, with left-hander Jesus Luzardo starting for Philadelphia against right-hander Chris Paddack.
The series is tied at one game each after Miami limited Philadelphia to one hit in Saturday's 4-0 shutout, with three Marlins pitchers combining on the one-hitter.
Luzardo authored the Phillies' first seven-inning start this season, while Paddack enters with an 0-2 record and 6.75 ERA in three career starts against Philadelphia.
Philadelphia had won four straight under interim manager Don Mattingly following the firing of Rob Thomson, though the Phillies sit at 13-20 while Miami stands at 16-17.
Sunday's matchup marks the third meeting between the clubs this season, with the four-game series concluding Monday as both teams battle in the NL East.
