PITCHING MATCHUP: Phillies RH Zach Eflin (2-1, 3.94 ERA) vs. Rockies LH Kyle Freeman (1-3, 5.40)
Eflin answered a pair of sterling starts with a disastrous one on Saturday, surrendering six runs on 10 hits -- including three homers -- in four innings of a 10-3 setback at Miami. The 25-year-old has been taken deep twice among the four hits collected by Charlie Blackmon in his career, although the rest of the current crop of Rockies are 6-for-30 against the hurler. Eflin owns a 1-2 mark with a bloated 9.20 ERA and 1.98 WHIP in three career outings against Colorado after permitting 15 runs in 14 2/3 innings.
Freeland lost his third straight start after allowing three runs on nine hits in five innings before exiting with a blister on the middle finger of his left hand. The 25-year-old Denver native has been taken deep in three of four outings while yielding 10 walks in 21 2/3 innings ahead of facing a patient Phillies' lineup. Freeman made one brief appearance versus Philadelphia in his career but has squared off against Andrew McCutchen, who is 4-for-17 with five strikeouts against him.
