Great stuff by Eflin after a nerve wracking first couple innings. Wonder if he starts the 7th
After the first two innings, I sure didnāt expect Eflin to make it through six with a chance to start the seventh.
I'd let him stay in but have him on a short leash. But Joe usually thinks differently from me.
