Jesús Luzardo's teammates let him down after a gem in his Phillies playoff debut

On Monday night, Jesús Luzardo's Philadelphia Phillies teammates let his gem of a pitching performance go for nothing in his playoff debut with Philly. In Game 2 of the National League Divisional Series, he put the club in a position to potentially send the series to Dodger Stadium tied at 1-1.

However, the Phillies' main issues, their offense and bullpen, are now the reasons they lost 4-3 and are on the brink of elimination as their NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers shifts to Southern California for Game 3 on Wednesday.
