Eflin gave up three runs on nine hits over six innings in a no-decision against Seattle on Wednesday, striking out five and walking one.
Remarkably, he also hit a batter for the fourth consecutive start -- quite a bizarre streak for a guy who's only issued four walks in 32 innings. The five strikeouts represent a season high for Eflin, and it's good to see him missing some more bats -- his sparkling stats will be hard to maintain otherwise, even if he continues keeping the ball on the ground and avoiding bases on balls. With a couple off days coming up and no announced plans to skip anyone's rotation turn, Eflin may not make his next start until next Wednesday in Texas.
