GDT 9/14/18 Miami Marlins (Chen, W) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Eflin)

[LoneStarPhan]

Fast ball dead center of the strike zone. Of course, with the 8 run lead, Eflin can afford to challenge the hitters. He only throws 6 pitches in the inning. The last two outs also hit the first pitch.

[ButlerBulldog]

Fast ball dead center of the strike zone. Of course, with the 8 run lead, Eflin can afford to challenge the hitters.

It’s good to see him have a quality start after pitching so poorly. It won’t matter for the remainder of this season, but it might set the stage for a better 2019.

[LoneStarPhan]

Anderson did a good job after the double and walk. Pitching out of trouble should help him gain some confidence at the ML level.

I thought the single on the ground ball to Kingery should have produced an out.
