Look for Jesús Luzardo to build on his strong spring showing as he faces Colorado's Brennan Bernardino in the series finale.

Expect the Phillies to capitalize on their momentum from yesterday's sweep opener, with first pitch set for 8:10 PM under overcast Denver skies.

Watch Luzardo establish his four-seam fastball early against a Rockies lineup that struggled with velocity in the series opener.
