Sharp in winning effort Luzardo (6-5) earned the win Sunday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings in a 4-2 victory over the Nationals. He struck out five.

Impact It was a strong bounce-back performance from Luzardo after he was tagged for five runs in his last outing, a loss to the Mariners. Lane Thomas was responsible for the only two runs against Luzardo with a two-run homer in the third inning. The 25-year-old Luzardo has had an up-and-down month -- he's now 2-2 with a 5.24 ERA through four starts in June.

Impact Luzardo's consistency struggles continue to plague him. Over his last seven starts, the left-hander has allowed one run four times and five or more runs three times. During that stretch, he's posted an elite 46:7 K:BB over 38.1 innings, but he's also surrendered five home runs. Overall, Luzardo sports a less-than-ideal 4.17 ERA, but his 1.27 WHIP and 89:21 K:BB across 77.2 innings suggest he may have been the recipient of some bad luck recently. Either way, Luzardo will look to get back on track during his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for the finale of a three-game weekend set in Washington.

Luzardo is currently lined up for a friendlier matchup at home against the Royals in his next outing.

Pitches well in no-decision Luzardo did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing a run on five hits and a walk over six innings against Washington. He struck out seven.

Impact Lane Thomas' solo homer in the sixth inning was the lone blemish on Luzardo's line Tuesday after he held the Nationals to three hits through the first five frames. The 25-year-old left-hander has surrendered just two runs in his last two starts (12 innings) as he lowered his ERA to 3.16 with a 1.36 WHIP and 55:17 K:BB through 51.1 innings this season.

Bounces back for third win Luzardo (3-2) allowed a run on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win Tuesday over the Diamondbacks.

He's surrendered at least five hits in all but one of his outings, but he's yet to really get hit hard. Luzardo is projected for a favorable home start versus the Nationals next week.

Suffers second loss Luzardo (2-2) allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits and three walks with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings, taking the loss versus Atlanta on Thursday.

Impact Luzardo turned in another okay effort, though the five strikeouts matched his season low. The southpaw threw 106 pitches (68 strikes), but Atlanta's offense proved just a little better. His 3.66 ERA is fine, but a 1.40 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB through 39.1 innings don't suggest he can get much better unless he can start limiting baserunners better. Luzardo projects for a road start in Arizona next week.

He has a 3.62 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB through 27.1 innings to start the year.
