Nabs win in Baltimore debut Eflin (6-7) earned the win against Toronto in the first game of Monday's doubleheader, allowing three runs on 10 hits and no walks while striking out seven betters over six innings...

Impact After being acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay on Friday, Eflin got the ball for Game 1 of Monday's twin bill. The right-hander wasn't at his sharpest, as he gave up a season-high 10 hits, but he was able to go just deep enough and pitch just well enough to pick up both a quality start and a victory. Eflin also tied his campaign high with seven punchouts while inducing 12 whiffs. His next start is tentatively slated to come in Cleveland this weekend.

Impact The right-hander allowed two runs over 5.2 frames in a no-decision Wednesday in Toronto, and that will end up being his final start for Tampa Bay. Eflin posted a 3.50 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 186:24 K:BB over a career-high 177.2 innings last season, though he's been unable to replicate those results this year and has a 4.09 ERA through 19 starts.

Yields two runs in no-decision Eflin allowed two runs on six hits and struck out four without walking a batter over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Impact Eflin had some trouble early on, allowing an RBI single in the first inning and a solo home run in the third, both to Vladimir Guerrero. After that, Eflin settled in, and the Rays were able to get him off the hook by the time he exited the contest. The right-hander has allowed two or fewer runs in just three of his last seven outings as he contends with a tough part of the schedule. He's now at a 4.09 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 87:13 K:BB through 110 innings over 19 starts on the year. Eflin is projected for a favorable home matchup versus the Marlins next week.

Struggles with control in loss Eflin (5-7) took the loss Friday against the Yankees, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Impact The Rays right-hander labored in Yankee Stadium, issuing a season-worst four walks. Before this outing, Eflin hadn't granted four free passes in an appearance since Sept. 23, 2019, when a member of the Phillies' rotation. After opening the season with a 3.75 ERA across his first eight starts, the 30-year-old hasn't been as sharp over his last 10 outings, pitching to a 4.47 ERA and 44:9 K:BB in 56.1 innings. Eflin is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Blue Jays in Toronto.
