Philadelphia. – Left-handed pitcher Jesús Luzardo starred in a historic night at Citizens Bank Park by retiring his last 22 batters faced, guiding the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-4 comeback victory over the New York Mets and completing a four-game sweep that consolidates their lead in the National League East Division.

Luzardo started with difficulties, allowing five hits and four runs in the first inning. However, he quickly found his best form and did not allow another opponent to reach base for the rest of his outing. In total, he completed eight innings, with nine strikeouts, achieving his sixth double-digit strikeout performance of the season, a figure that ties him with teammate Zack Wheeler and Logan Webb (Giants) as leaders of the National League in that category.
The pitcher’s dominance gave way to Philadelphia’s offense, which responded with timely power. Otto Kemp hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning, while Bryce Harper contributed a run-scoring double in the fifth. The definitive lead came in the sixth inning with a three-run rally, driven by a double from Kemp, a single from Harrison Bader, and another hit from Harper.
With the victory, the Phillies improved their record to 87-60 and extended their lead to 11 games over the Mets (76-71), the largest of the season, with only 15 games remaining on the schedule.
Luzardo’s performance not only secured the victory, but also established him as one of the most reliable pieces of Philadelphia’s rotation in the final stretch towards the postseason.
