Friday May 7 Starting Pitcher Matchup

PITCHING MATCHUP: Reds RH Tyler Mahle (2-5, 4.26 ERA) vs. Phillies RH Zach Eflin (5-5, 3.02)

Mahle has answered a five-start losing streak by winning two of his last three outings, including a five-inning performance in Friday's 9-3 victory against Washington. The 24-year-old struck out eight batters for the third time in his last five trips to the mound to improve to 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA at home, although his 0-5 mark with a 4.96 ERA in eight road starts leaves plenty to be desired. Sean Rodriguez is 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs in a small sample size versus Mahle, who surrendered three runs on six hits -- including two homers -- in one inning in his lone appearance against Philadelphia.

Eflin is expected to return from the 10-day injured list on Friday after being sidelined with back tightness. The 25-year-old has struggled since tossing a four-hit shutout against Kansas City on May 11, going 0-2 with a 4.91 ERA. Eflin, who was taken deep twice in 3 2/3 innings of a 9-1 setback at Milwaukee on May 26, has received mixed results versus Joey Votto (3-for-5) and Derek Dietrich (0-for-6, two strikeouts).
