Two Lefties, Two Hundred Strikes | MLB News

Two Phillies lefties, Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo, are rewriting baseball history with back-to-back 200-strikeout seasons — only the third such duo in MLB history. Luzardo struck out nine in a shutout against the Mariners, followed by Sánchez’s seven-inning shutout against the Angels. Both now rank among the NL’s strikeout leaders, chasing league leader Jacob deGrom as the Phillies push for the playoffs with five games behind in the division. Their dominance adds depth to a rotation that includes legends like Aaron Nola and Zack Wheeler, proving Philadelphia’s pitching is built for October.
