Eflin's now been stuck with the loss in back-to-back outings, though he's gone 5-2 with a 2.22 ERA through seven starts since joining Baltimore at the trade deadline. Overall, he sports a 3.55 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 128:18 K:BB across 154.2 innings between the Orioles and Rays this season. He's currently lined up to face the Giants at home in his next start.
