Jesus Luzardo allowed just two hits over seven innings as the Philadelphia Phillies topped the visiting San Francisco Giants 7-0 on Tuesday, hours after firing manager Rob Thomson.

With a 9-19 record entering Tuesday that was tied for the worst mark in the major leagues, the Phillies opted to part ways with Thomson, who had managed the squad for nearly four years. Bench coach Don Mattingly was promoted to interim skipper and enjoyed a victorious debut thanks to Luzardo's gem and a four-run sixth from the Philadelphia offense.

Trea Turner went 4-for-5 with two runs for the Phillies, while Adolis Garcia drove in two runs. Luzardo (2-3) took care of the rest, striking out eight without a walk to help Philadelphia win for just the second time in its past 13 games.

San Francisco starter Tyler Mahle (1-4) allowed five runs and six hits in five-plus innings. Matt Chapman accounted for four of the 12 strikeouts by the Giants, who had won seven of their previous 10 games.
