Zach Eflin returned to form with a stellar performance against the Chicago White Sox, pitching seven shutout innings in a 2-1 victory. After two rough outings where he gave up 12 earned runs, Eflin showcased excellent command, led by a solid sinker that induced soft contact. He faced the minimum through five innings and finished with six strikeouts. Both Eflin and interim manager Tony Mansolino credited his improved command and pitch execution, with Eflin highlighting catcher Adley Rutschman’s role in calling an effective game.
"I think, for the most part, command, being able to get ahead of guys, and I had a pretty good sinker today, getting soft contact early in the count."
"His sinker was really good today. It seems like all of his misses were kind of below the zone in the right spots."
