After facing off against two-time Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer last week, the Phillies 24-year-old Zach Eflin took the mound against another fantastic starter, 2018 AL All-Star Jose Berrios.
Just as in that previous outing, Eflin was up to the task. The Phillies took this one by a 2-1 score, raising their record to 6-2 on the season. Eflin moves into the win column while Hector Neris picks up the save.
The game didn’t start out as Eflin and the packed crowd at Citizens Bank would have hoped.
