Luzardo strikes out 12 in 1st career shutout; Schwarber homers in Phillies’ 1-0 win over Braves

Philadelphia Phillies' Jesús Luzardo achieved a milestone by striking out 12 and delivering a two-hit shutout in his first career shutout in 150 starts. The relief pitcher held the Atlanta Braves to just one run, contributing to the Phillies' 1-0 victory on Monday. Kyle Schwarber added to the team's win with a solo homer in the eighth inning, securing the win for the Phillies.

The Phillies, currently in the NL East-leading position, split a four-game series with the Braves, reducing their division lead to four games. Luzardo, who signed a $135 million, five-year contract in March, continued to demonstrate his prowess, pitching a complete game that lasted 1 hour, 51 minutes.
