GDT 7/3/18 Baltimore Orioles (Cobb) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Eflin)

[zambonir]

Franco's having a decent game. This might not hold up.

(Whew. Not conclusive, looked better from the other angle too.)

[Lucky_Beagle]

LA wonders why Efflin was taken out after 7 innings and 80 pitches...well he at least mentioned it. I think it was more in regards to Hunter not being able to get through the inning.

I wonder why they didn't IBB Machado especially after the wild pitch put the runner on 2nd anyways.

I guess it all worked out for the 8th, now does Seranthony have enough left for the 9th?

[LoneStarPhan]

Looked like foot was off bag but went back to bag as runner was arriving. Really impossible to tell if Santana hit bag with foot but I think it did.

Both teams leave bases loaded in last at bat.

I'd love an insurance run or two here.

In play, no out (90.8 mph four-seam fastball)

Carlos Santana doubles (16) on a sharp line drive to right fielder Mark Trumbo.

[zambonir]

Nice.

I get pulling Eflin and I'm sure they really did have data saying Hunter was the right guy for that inning. But with the short series and the off-days they certainly had other options.

[LoneStarPhan]

Get the first two on and again, it's Kingery batting way too high in the order. Out one on a 3 pitch K. Unsatisfactory.

Another one run win and the Phillies continue to roll.

Solid 7 innings from Eflin and he earns his 7th win. Now 7-2, 2.97 ERA.
Dominguez gets 4 outs and earns his 8th save. He looked sharper in the 9th but maybe he was facing lesser hitters. Regardless, he gets it done.

I would have liked to see Kingery at least move the runners along in the 8th. The Orioles also picked up several extra bases on the wild pitches and stolen bases in their 8th inning. Alfaro does a better job behind the plate but I hope to see Knapp continue to improve. I love that he is getting some good hits of late.

Hoskins drives in two with his double and Knapp the third run with a triple. Franco goes 2 for 3 with a walk.

Record now 46-37.
