The Philadelphia Phillies (30-18) and the Colorado Rockies (8-40) play the third game of their four-game series at Coors Field on Wednesday, with the Phillies looking for yet another series win.
The Phillies took Tuesday's game 7-4, with starter Jesús Luzardo holding the Rockies to one run on two hits while striking out 10 over six innings. Now 5-0 with a 1.95 ERA, the outing put the lefty into some historic company, per MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. Luzardo joins Randy Johnson (1995) as just the second left-hander to go undefeated with a sub-2.00 ERA and at least 10 K/9 through his first 10 starts of a season.
Bryce Harper led the way on offense, going 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two RBIs. Kyle Schwarber followed up Monday's 300th career home run with No. 301 in the seventh inning on Tuesday — a 430-foot blast to center field.
The Phillies became the second team in the majors to reach 30 wins (Detroit was first) and head into Wednesday's action a season-high 12 games over .500. They have a 1.5-game lead over the New York Mets in the NL East.
Phillies vs. Rockies probable pitchers, May 21
- Taijuan Walker (1-3, 2.62 ERA) returns to the rotation for the Phillies in place of the injured Aaron Nola after a brief but successful stint in the bullpen. Walker made his season debut against these same Rockies on April 3, tossing six scoreless innings to pick up the win. He gave up three hits with a walk and one hit batter while striking out four in that outing.
- Carson Palmquist (0-1, 11.25 ERA) will take the ball for the Rockies, making just his second MLB start. The 24-year-old left-hander gave up five runs on six hits and one walk with zero strikeouts over four innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks in his MLB debut last week.
