KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jesús Luzardo struck out nine in six innings, J.T. Realmuto, Gabriel Rincones Jr. and Alec Bohm hit home runs, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Kansas City Royals 6-1 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Luzardo (7-4) outpitched Royals All-Star selection Michael Wacha, dominating the Royals lineup through the first three innings, striking out six — five with his sweeper — while allowing only an infield hit. He allowed a run on four hits overall.<\/p>\n

Luzardo has allowed fewer than three earned runs in nine of his last 10 starts, lowering his ERA from 5.77 on May 8 to 3.75.<\/p>\n

The Phillies have won eight straight starts by Luzardo.<\/p>\n

Wacha (5-6) escaped unscathed from an adventurous first inning, including throwing Bryce Harper’s checked-swing single down the right-field line and walking Bohm on 12 pitches to load the bases after Bohm successfully challenged a third-strike call.<\/p>\n

The Phillies broke the scoreless tie in the fourth when Realmuto connected for a 399-foot line drive to left-center and a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n

Rincones followed two pitches later with a home run into the right-field bullpen, the fourth set of back-to-back homers by Philadelphia this year.<\/p>\n

Bohm’s sixth-inning leadoff home run, his 11th, gave the Phillies a 4-1 advantage.<\/p>\n

Bohm and Rincones doubled in the eighth, capping the scoring.<\/p>\n

Kyle Schwarber had three of Philadelphia’s 12 hits.<\/p>\n

Phillies pitchers struck out 15 with no walks.<\/p>\n

Kansas City scored in the fourth on an infield hit by Nick Loftin, who snapped an 0 for 23 skid.<\/p>\n

Wacha allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings, striking out seven. The three home runs allowed were his most since July 24, 2024 against the Diamondbacks.<\/p>\n

Kansas City batted 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position. The Royals have hit .118 in such at-bats while losing 8 of 9 games.<\/p>\n
