Luzardo (8-7) took the loss versus the Yankees on Friday, yielding seven runs on nine hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He struck out two.
It's the shortest outing of the season for Luzardo, and it's also the most hits he's permitted this year. He served up a pair of home runs and now has surrendered five long balls across his last two outings. Luzardo fanned 13 in a gem against the Rockies last month but has turned in three clunkers since then. It's possible he's tiring, having already reached his career high in innings with 131.2.
