Zach Eflin Tosses Gem Friday Night
6 months agoTampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Zach Eflin (4-5) picked up his fourth win Friday night after pitching six shutout innings with six strikeouts while allowing no walks on four hits in a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. Eflin finished off a solid June with a 3.49 ERA which lowered his 2024 ERA to 3.92 on the season. The 30-year-old veteran isn't quite having the same success in his encore season with the Rays so far with a half of a run higher on his ERA and less than a strikeout per inning after having more than a strikeout per inning last season. If Eflin continues to put up solid numbers don't be surprised if he is dangled at the trade deadline with the Rays sitting at an even .500 record at 41-41 on the season. However, his contract may be tough to unload unless the Rays front office decides to eat a portion of his contract.
