The one behind 8-1: Phillies 3, Dodgers 2

Jesús Luzardo dominated the best team in baseball and J.T. Realmuto played the role of closer as the Phillies handed the Dodgers their first loss of the season by a final score of 3-2. Luzardo fired 7 shutout innings with 8 strikeouts while allowing just two hits and two walks. Realmuto gunned down Shohei Ohtani trying to steal to end the eighth inning and threw out Chris Taylor trying to steal to end the game.

All hail the lizard king

Luzardo was in control from the start, retiring the vaunted top of the Dodgers lineup in order in the first inning and striking out the side in the second following a leadoff single.
