Zach Eflin Shines in Orioles' 5-1 Win

Zach Eflin has provided a significant boost to the Baltimore Orioles' rotation since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays before the trade deadline. He has won all four of his starts, including a notable six-inning, eight-strikeout performance in a 5-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Eflin's 2.13 ERA and 25 strikeouts over 25.1 innings have been instrumental in helping the Orioles tie for first place in the AL East. His success is a welcome development for a team that has faced numerous injuries in their pitching staff. The Orioles also benefited from home runs by Gunnar Henderson and Cedric Mullins in the win against Boston. The Red Sox, meanwhile, continue to struggle, trailing by 2.5 games for the final wild card spot in the American League.
