Eflin Pitches Complete Game Against Marlins In Weekend Series Rubber Match
PHILADELPHIA (CBSMiami/AP) — Pitchers are quickly realizing that a matchup against the Miami Marlins can get them back on track.
Zach Eflin threw a seven-hitter, the first complete game for a Phillies pitcher since September 2017, and Philadelphia beat the Marlins 5-1 on Sunday.
The right-hander surrendered seven hits and allowed one run while striking out three. He walked none and was rarely in trouble. Eflin (3-3) induced a pair of double-play balls, including one to end the eighth inning, and threw 77 of his 107 pitches for strikes.
