When the San Francisco Giants took the field at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, manager Tony Vitello probably was hoping Tyler Mahle could produce a solid outing.

That didn't happen because Philadelphia Phillies starter Jesus Luzardo was throwing pretty much a masterpiece. Luzardo kept the Giants' offense in check, allowing only two hits en route to a 7-0 Phillies victory.

Luzardo worked seven innings, giving up just those two hits, no runs, didn't walk a batter, and struck out eight. That's a pretty solid recipe for victory. Luzardo's record now goes to 2-3.

The Phillies probably had a little more incentive to put together a solid game on Tuesday night.

It's been a pretty brutal start to the 2026 MLB season for Philadelphia, leading the ballclub to fire manager Rob Thomson on Tuesday morning. Don Mattingly is serving as manager on an interim basis, so the Phillies went out and gave "Donnie Baseball" a victory.

As for Mahle, whose record falls to 1-4, he worked five innings, giving up six hits, five runs (all earned), walked three, and struck out three.

The Phillies scored their first run in the fourth inning on Brandon Marsh's sacrifice fly. Marsh went 1-for-3 with his RBI against the Giants.

In the bottom of the sixth, the Phillies broke the game open with a four-run frame. First baseman Bryce Harper, who went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored, hit a run-scoring double with runners at first and second base and none out.

Shortstop Trea Turner scored on the play and the Phillies went up 2-0. They tacked on three more runs in the sixth and two more in the eighth.
