Zach Eflin’s season has not been an easy one. From June 24th to July 27th, Eflin fell apart at the seams. His ERA inflated from 2.83 to 4.63 where it would peak for the season.
During that 6-game time span, Eflin had an ERA of 10.46. Opposing batters had a .382 batting average and an OPS of 1.145.
That’s bad. That’s downright T E R R I B L E.
The stretch was so horrendous that it pushed Eflin into the bullpen for 4 games. In those games, Eflin pitched 5.2 innings with 7 strikeouts and just 1 ER.
