The Marlins (7-16-2) bid adeu to Jupiter Sunday in a 2-2 tie with their divisional rival Washington Nationals. The game was played at a brisk 2 hour and 6 minute pace.
In his final tune-up before the regular season, Jesùs Luzardo, slated to throw approximately 85 pitches, gave the Marlins 5 innings, allowing 2 earned runs (all in the first inning), walking 2, and striking out 4. After allowing the first two men to reach via walk and double, Luzardo would go on to retire 11 consecutive Nationals hitters.
Here's one of Luzardo's 4 strikeouts from this afternoon, an 85 mph slider to put away CJ Abrams.
