Phillies' Luzardo Allows 12 Runs in Historic Loss to Brewers

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jesús Luzardo, who had been one of the National League's top starters with a 2.15 ERA and a 5-0 record, suffered a historic and disastrous outing against the Milwaukee Brewers by allowing 12 earned runs in just 3⅓ innings. This marked the most runs given up by a Phillies starter since 1947 and dramatically increased his season ERA to 3.45 or higher. The Brewers capitalized on Luzardo's struggles, with Rhys Hoskins notably hitting two three-run homers off him during the Phillies' 17-7 loss. Phillies manager Rob Thomson was ejected in the fourth inning amid the chaotic game. Prior to this game, Luzardo had consistently pitched deep into games with solid performances, but this outing was a significant setback. Despite the Phillies' overall strong season and Luzardo's dominance earlier, the Brewers' offense overwhelmed the Phillies in this matchup.
