Phillies’ Jesus Luzardo yell at the referee, pushed out on the way away from the haug

Philadelphia Phillie’s pitcher Jesus Luzardo started his excursion against the New York Mets on Tuesday night hot and left the same way and only got the opportunity to cool off early.

Luzardo was upset over the referee with home plate Willie Traynor when Mets Slugger Juan Soto got a timeout when he was about to throw up to throw at the bottom of the first place. Luzardo and Traynor had a conversation, and it seemed to set the stage for the rest of the evening.

Phillie’s manager Rob Thomson removed Luzardo from the game at the bottom of the fifth round with Philadelphia, led the game 2-1 and New York threatened with the bases loaded. When Luzardo left the game, he seemed to fire an explosive against Traynor.

“Wake up — up. This is not the smaller leagues,” Luzardo screamed at the referee. He was immediately pushed out.

Mets took a 5-2 lead in the fifth round with the help of Pete Alonso. But a two-run home drive from Phillie’s outfielder Harrison baths out of Mets Reliever Ryan Helsley tied the game. Helsley was booed when he was removed from the game.
