MIAMI — Jesús Luzardo’s start against the Atlanta Braves on Monday night was monumental in more ways than one.
The lefty tied his career-best strikeouts in a single game (12). He held one of the best teams in baseball scoreless through six innings.
Luzardo’s performance, in conjunction with Bryan De La Cruz’s hot bat, led the Miami Marlins to a 4-0 win over the Braves — just the fifth Braves shutout of the season and the first time the Marlins (68-92) blanked Atlanta since Sept. 8, 2020.
