Rays' Wild Card Exit Raises Questions About Pitch Tipping and Larger Problems
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Zach Eflin admits that the Texas Rangers' offense was able to anticipate his pitches well in their 7-1 victory in the American League Wild Card Series. Eflin gave up five runs, four earned, on eight hits, including two home runs. He believes that the Rangers were either completely on him or he was tipping his pitches, but leans towards the former. Despite the Rangers' struggles leading up to the series, Eflin acknowledges their potent offense and predicts that they will be a threat in the postseason.
