When you’re facing a certified ace there’s one thing that’s essential to have a chance to win that game: good pitching. The Phils were able to get that out of Zach Eflin when he faced Jose Berrios, the Minnesota Twins 24 year old Ace. Berrios was great but Eflin stuck with him, stride for stride, pitch for pitch. As a result the Phils showed they could win a different kind of game in a different kind of way – by scoring only two runs as opposed the their over six average.
