The lefty has given up 20 runs in his last two starts. Could there be an easy fix for him? “Theoretically it should be, yeah,” Luzardo says.

Phillies starter Jesús Luzardo had an atrocious outing last time out. He was basically just as bad Thursday ( box score) and the result is the worst back-to-back stat line in MLB history. On May 31, Luzardo allowed 12 runs on 12 hits in 3 ⅓ innings. All 12 runs were earned.

He is now 5-2 with a 4.46 ERA and 1.445 WHIP. Luzardo's WAR dropped from 3.0 to 1.7 just after his meltdown against the Brewers, and his showing in Toronto tanked it even further.Luzardo, 27, came over from the Miami Marlins in a blockbuster trade last December.
