Zach Eflin allowed four hits, five walks, and three runs over 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Wednesday.
This was as frustrating a start Eflin has had in a long time. For a while, it seemed easy as the Orioles built him a comfortable 8-1 lead and he crossed the 1,000 career innings threshold – no small feat for someone with Eflin’s injury history. Yet, those five walks were a career-high and he just couldn’t get through the fifth inning with said huge lead. Not earning this win could wind up detrimental to certain fantasy teams and Baltimore hopes Eflin can straighten out before next week’s playoffs.
