Jesus Luzardo’s second major league outing was bizarre enough that the Eyeball Scout felt it warranted its own post. The line tells only part of the story: 3 IP, 2 hits, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K. Also sprinkled in was a wild pitch, which as it turned out allowed the run to become earned despite the run scoring passed ball that preceded it.
In the 7th inning, Luzardo faced 4 hitters and dominated all 4, missing a 1-2-3 inning only because Scott Heineman’s check swing dribbler got past Luzardo, then was bobbled by Olson whose hurried throw eluded Luzardo covering.
