Jesus Luzardo’s start Tuesday began with him getting reigning American League Most Valuable Player Shohei Ohtani to whiff at a low 85.7-mph curveball for his first strikeout of the game.
It ended with Luzardo making Marlins history.
The 24-year-old left-handed pitcher and Parkland Stoneman Douglas High alumnus threw a career-high 12 strikeouts over five innings of work, but the Marlins lost 4-3 to the Los Angeles Angels in walk-off fashion and were swept in the two-game series.
