Eflin (0-1) allowed nine runs, eight of which were earned, on nine hits and three walks while striking out two to take the loss Tuesday at the Blue Jays.
After giving up three runs in the first two innings, Eflin was bombed for six additional runs in the third inning, forcing the Phillies' bullpen to pick up 5.1 innings of work. His major league debut was certainly a tough draw, and he'll look to leave a better impression in his next start Sunday against the Diamondbacks.
