BALTIMORE — Zach Eflin was abruptly pulled from Tuesday night’s game between the Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers with right elbow discomfort in the fourth inning.
Eflin struck out seven in 3 2/3 innings, allowing only one run on a solo homer by Ezequiel Duran in the third. With two on and two out in the fourth, there was a meeting on the mound when Duran came to the plate again. Eflin threw one more pitch, a ball, and then there was another meeting — this one including manager Craig Albernaz.
