MIAMI (AP) — Jesús Luzardo and three relievers combined on the Miami Marlins’ third consecutive shutout, an 8-0 win over the New York Mets on Friday night.

Miami pitchers extended their scoreless innings streak to 28, three short of the franchise record in April 2004.

“Obviously, a great run. It took a while into the season for us to get going,” Luzardo said. “It’s something I think we all knew we had in us. This staff was highly regarded going into this year. We’re finally understanding and feeling each other out.”

Luzardo (1-3) scattered five hits and struck out seven over six innings, ending an 0-4 skid over eight starts since beating Milwaukee on Sept. 17. Anthony Bender, Burch Smith and Anthony Maldonado followed with an inning each.

Miami’s opening day starter, Luzardo has allowed two runs and struck out 13 in 12 innings since returning from the injured list on May 11.
