I’m still buzzing with excitement.
Down to their last strike in the bottom of the tenth inning, the Phillies pulled off an incredible victory. But to understand just how incredible this victory was, we have to go all the way back to the beginning.
Zach Eflin was firing on all cylinders this afternoon. He struck out 12 batters — a career high — and allowed just four hits. Two of those hits were home runs, but they were solo home runs, so Eflin finished the day with a very respectable line of 7 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 12 K.
