Zach Eflin did it again. The 30-year-old righty completed six innings and earned the victory for the fourth consecutive time in a Baltimore uniform. Eflin and the bullpen kept Boston in check, and the Orioles offense did enough for a 5-1 victory at Camden Yards.
“He just really knows what he’s doing,” Brandon Hyde said of Eflin after the game. “He’s unbelievably prepared with a great game plan going in. When he executes, it’s tough to hit.”
Eflin has dominated opponents since arriving in Baltimore. The righty struck out a season-high eight batters over six innings of one-run ball.
