Series Finale
Righty Zach Eflin makes his second start of the year with the Phillies this afternoon. He tossed five innings to a no-decision last week in New York, surrendering two runs on three hits.
The 23-year-old hurled his first major league complete game and secured his first major league win in an outing against Atlanta last year. He surrendered one run, scattered six hits, and struck out six.
The Braves counter this afternoon with Mike Foltynewicz. The righty went 1-1 with a 5.06 ERA in two starts last season against the Phillies.
Wrap It Up

Following today's matinee the Phillies have off day before hosting the Miami Marlins for a four-game set beginning Tuesday.
