Luzardo pitched five scoreless innings versus the Rangers on Tuesday, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out five in a no-decision.
Luzardo showed good command in this game -- his first MLB start -- tossing 48 of his 76 pitches for strikes. Unfortunately, the Athletics' offense didn't do enough to earn him a win. The 22-year-old owns a 2.31 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 12:5 K:BB through 11.2 innings this season. His next turn in the rotation is expected to come Sunday versus the Astros.
