Jesus Luzardo Pitches Well In Loss To Texas
4 years agoOakland Athletics starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings but took the loss Monday in Texas. Luzardo allowed seven hits and two walks, but struck out seven in an encouraging start. All seven of Luzardo's K's were on his slider, and he induced 13 swings and misses which is a great sign for the rookie moving forward. He has a tough matchup with Houston lined up this Saturday, but his strikeout upside makes Luzardo a good start despite a challenging opponent.
