After the Phillies turned in a solid performance in the series opener against the Blue Jays, there was hope that the team had put the struggles of last weekend behind them. But after the offense no-showed on Wednesday night, on Thursday Jesus Luzardo turned in his second straight awful performance, the offense remained quiet, and the Phillies dropped the series finale 9-1.
Jesus Luzardo suffered through a horrendous start against the Brewers on Sunday, so there was some interest in how he would look on Thursday. And the answer was not reassuring to Phillies fans.
