Who knew Zach Eflin was the second coming of Greg Maddux?
You just have to tip your cap to Eflin today. He had the Braves guessing all day, never even surrendering an extra base hit until Johan Camargo’s sixth inning home run. That might have been the best starting pitching performance the Braves have run into all season, or the worst output from the Atlanta bats if you want to have that outlook.
But last week the Phillies lost the first two games of a road weekend series against the Braves, then salvaged the finale on Sunday Night Baseball.
