Eflin (2-2) gave up two earned runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings in Sunday's 10-3 victory over the Rockies. He struck out three.
On the heels of a complete-game shutout of the Braves on July 5, Eflin put together an encore that in some ways was just as impressive, considering the quality of opposition and the fact the game was played in Coors Field. Eflin pitched efficiently, averaging just 15 pitches an inning, and stayed away from the long ball altogether against a lineup that's certainly capable of exploding in any given at-bat. Outside of a thoroughly forgettable debut on June 14 where he gave up eight earned runs in 2.2 innings to the Blue Jays, Eflin has actually acquitted himself very well, coming just one out short of notching five straight quality starts subsequent to that outing. He'll look to continue his development over the second half of the season.
