Miami Marlins left-hander Jesus Luzardo needs a bounce-back performance.

Miami is 17-12 when Luzardo starts this year, but Monday in his most recent start, the Marlins lost 12-0 at the Milwaukee Brewers. Luzardo allowed a season-high 10 hits to go with six earned runs -- his second-highest totalof the year.

Luzardo (9-9, 3.82 ERA) will look for that turnaround on Sunday for the host Marlins when they go for a three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves.

The Marlins (77-72) are competing for a National League wild-card berth.
