The Phillies won last night in San Diego, but the cost of that victory was extremely high.
The facts of the win are straightforward. Zach Eflin started after we wondered all week if he was even going to get on the mound and he was good. He gave the Phillies five solid innings, allowing only two runs on four hits, two walks while striking out three. Considering he was only able to go two innings last Sunday and the team had to put him through the wringer this week to see if he could even make the start, we’ll take it.
