Luzardo’s Shutout Silences Braves | Atlanta Braves News

Jesús Luzardo tossed a historic shutout, striking out 12 and needing just 109 pitches to blank the Braves, while Kyle Schwarber’s 43rd homer gave Philly a 1-0 win that cuts their division lead to four games. Luzardo’s August dominance proves why his $135M deal was worth every penny, outshining even Grant Holmes’ strong effort. Fans turned on Ronald Acuña Jr., booing him mercilessly after his heroics the day before — though he walked in the ninth, he couldn’t score. The Phillies head to Houston for a crucial series starting Tuesday, while the Braves welcome Philly back home soon.
