⚾ Zach Eflin nailed everything a closer is expected to Monday night – except the celebration. NBCSPhilly
OK, we're getting ahead of ourselves here, but the scenario is at least possible now that the Phillies have punched their ticket to the October tournament.
The bottom line here is you can add Eflin's name to the list of relievers who could close a game for the Phillies in the postseason. Thomson said he has ditched the idea of Eflin starting as an opener in front of Ranger Suarez because he likes the way Suarez has been throwing. Strikes are Eflin's strength and Thomson said he'd be willing to sacrifice velocity for strikes. He also said it was not too late for Dominguez and Robertson to sharpen up and build some confidence when they get some work Tuesday or Wednesday. Both pitched Tuesday night and neither was sharp.
After missing almost three months, Eflin's arm is fresher than most in the Phillies' bullpen. And pitching in short spurts out of the bullpen allows his stuff to play up, particularly his sinker.
