Final: Diamondbacks 5, Phillies 1 ❖ Attendance: 40,214
Philadelphia, PA – Despite a nice bounce back effort from Zach Eflin, the Phillies dropped their sixth straight game this afternoon, 5-1, to the Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park. Today's defeat marks the first series loss to Arionza since May 28-30, 2007.
After allowing eight runs in 2.2 innings last week in his MLB debut against the Blue Jays, Eflin rebounded, allowing two runs in 5.2 innings with three strikeouts. He mixed fastball speeds nicely while his breaking pitches showed some nice bite to them throughout the afternoon. His counterpart, Archie Bradley, tossed six innings, allowing an unearned run while striking out five. Offense continues to be an issues for the Phils, mustering just three hits today.
Philadelphia has dropped 10 of their last 11 games and since being a season-best seven games over .500 on May 18, they are 6-23. During their current six-game skid, they've been outscored 50-11.
The Phillies and Diamondbacks conclude their four-game series on Monday afternoon at 1:05pm. Jeremy Hellickson will get the nod against his former team. Shelby Miller will start for Arizona.
