Phillies' Zach Eflin: Generates lots of weak contact Sunday
Eflin allowed one run on three hits over seven innings Sunday in an eventual 5-2 win over the Braves. He struck out three and did not walk a batter in the no-decision.
Analysis:
Eflin didn't strike many batters out, but the Braves were not able to make solid contact on his pitches. He generated six groundouts to first base and six shallow pop-ups to the outfield. The young righty has allowed just three runs in his first two starts this season, so he's off to a promising start heading into Saturday's road tilt against the Dodgers.
