"It's a veteran savvy approach that works for us," Cash continued. "Since the start of May, it's been six-plus innings almost every time out.

"He's a really good pitcher who knows how to execute pitches at a level that's really, really high," Rays manager Kevin Cash said recently of Eflin. In eight starts since May 1, Eflin has a 5-2 record and a 3.40 ERA - 19 runs allowed on 39 hits and eight walks with 51 strikeouts in 50 1/3 innings. When he's pitching like this, getting strike one, he's as good as any pitcher in the major leagues." "This is how Blake's always pitched in the second half. And in June, he has given up one run on five hits and three walks with 20 strikeouts in 13 innings. In his eight starts since the beginning of May, Snell is 2-2 with a 2.93 ERA - 15 runs allowed on 30 hits and 19 walks with 55 strikeouts in 46 innings. "It's how you process that."Īnd while Eflin has performed beyond expectations all season for the Rays, Snell recently has shown the form that has kicked in over the second half of his two previous seasons in San Diego. "There's always something extra in a game where you are facing the team that drafted you," Padres manager Bob Melvin said. Eflin is 2-2 with a 3.38 ERA in five career starts against the Padres. Snell will face Tampa Bay for the first time.

He also has been helped by the Tampa Bay offense. Snell, a 30-year-old left-hander, is 2-6 with a 3.78 ERA in 13 starts for the Padres this season while Eflin, a 29-year-old right-hander, is 8-2 with a 3.28 ERA in 12 starts for the Rays.Īlthough Snell's disappointing record is partially the product of limited run support, Eflin has benefited from a change of scenery this year after spending seven seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies. Starting for Tampa Bay will be Zach Eflin, who was the Padres' first-round draft pick in 2012 and was considered one of San Diego's top prospects but never played for the team. Starting for the Padres will be Blake Snell, who was a first-round pick of Tampa Bay in 2011 and won the 2018 American League Cy Young Award while pitching for the Rays.
