Eflin (3-5) struggled for the third straight start, allowing seven runs on seven hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over three innings in Monday's loss to the Dodgers.
Eflin has been atrocious in his last three outings, allowing 20 earned runs in just 13 innings. The rookie has been gifting the opposition baserunners with nine walks in that span, while also getting hammered for six homers. He helped his own cause with two hits and a run in this one, but that does little to ease the pain of a terrible performance in the league's most pitcher-friendly venue. It only gets harder from here with a home match Sunday against the dangerous Rockies lineup.
