The Philadelphia Phillies completed a four-game sweep of the New York Mets with a 6-4 win in Thursday’s series finale. Philadelphia now has a commanding 11-game lead in the division as the team eyes a deep postseason run .

The Phillies enjoyed strong starting pitching performances throughout the four-game series. But Thursday’s outing by Jesus Luzardo was particularly impressive.

The seventh-year starter and closer Jhoan Duran combined to throw eight perfect innings. It was just the second time in 50 years that the Phillies didn’t allow any baserunners after the first inning, per MLB.com’s Paul Casella. The only other time the team accomplished the feat was in Roy Halladay’s perfect game on May 29, 2010.
