YOUNG EFLIN IMPRESSES

Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin may only be 22, and may have only had four MLB starts to his name heading into Tuesday's battle against the Braves, but he tossed a complete game while allowing just one run. Eflin joined the long line of talented young pitchers in Philadelphia by finishing with six hits and six strikeouts. After earning his first MLB victory, Eflin is now 1-2 with a 4.30 ERA this season.

After four straight wins, Toronto will send Marcus Stroman (6-4, 5.08 ERA) to the mound to face Ian Kennedy (6-7, 4.04 ERA). Kansas City need to win to keep pace with the red-hot Indians in the American League Central.
