Eflin (2-3) allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings Sunday, striking out two, in a 5-0 loss to the Mets.
Despite the quality start, his fourth in his last five outings, Eflin's biggest contribution Sunday might have been a third-inning single that proved to be the only hit Jacob deGrom would give up on the day. Eflin now has a thoroughly respectable 4.14 ERA on the season, but his 20:8 K:BB in 41.1 innings suggests he'll be hard-pressed to maintain it. His next start will come Friday in Pittsburgh.
