PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) – Zach Eflin threw a seven-hitter, the first nine-inning complete game for a Phillies pitcher since September 2016 and first complete game since September 2017, and Philadelphia beat the Miami 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.
Jean Segura had three of just four hits overall for the Phillies’ offense, including an RBI triple, and he scored twice.
