PHILADELPHIA -- Zach Eflin stood on the mound shaking from excitement as the final pitch of the game was squeezed for the third out.Philadelphias rookie right-hander had breezed past the Atlanta Braves.I was just out there with loads of confidence, Eflin said.Eflin struck out six and walked none in his first career complete game and first major-league win, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-1 victory over the Braves on Tuesday night.Eflin, a first-round pick in the 2012 draft by the San Diego Padres, needed just 2 hours, 8 minutes to win for the first time this season in five starts.The less pitches the better, he said, smiling.Eflin, acquired in a 2014 trade that sent Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins to the Los Angeles Dodgers, allowed three homers and nine runs in 2 2/3 innings in his June 14 debut against Toronto.He lost his next start, then rebounded with no-decisions in two straight solid six-inning outings.Eflin certainly found his groove against Atlanta. He threw just 92 crisp pitches and breezed against the hapless Braves in his longest outing of the season in any level of baseball. He became the first Phillies pitcher since Mike Williams in July 1992 to toss a complete game for his first win and hes the first Phillies rookie to throw a complete game since Vance Worley in July 2011.Its something you cant really describe, just being around these guys, Eflin said.Eflin went deep in the game and the Phillies went deep at the plate.Maikel Franco homered for the third straight game, and the Phillies hit four overall. Peter Bourjos, Cody Asche and Tommy Joseph all hit solo shots for the Phillies.Eflin had some help from a generally punchless offense that has shown signs of coming around headed into the All-Star break. The Phillies have scored at least seven runs in three straight games and have won seven of eight overall.I think everybody puts together good at-bats and that puts pressure on the pitcher to make his pitches, Bourjos said. He threw some pitches over the plate and we hit some home runs.Simple enough.Bourjos extended his hitting streak to 14 games and opened the home run derby with his fourth of the season in the first inning against Mike Foltynewicz (2-3). Asche hit his fourth in the fourth and Franco (16) and Joseph (9) both went deep in the sixth.Foltynewicz struck out five and gave up eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.When I had two strikes, I got amped up a little and started to overthrow, he said.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: RHP Julio Teheran was scratched from Wednesdays start in the three-game series finale for Tyrell Jenkins. Teheran returned to Atlanta to be treated for an infection on his right thigh. The Braves are hopeful Teheran will start this weekend in a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.Phillies: RHP Andrew Bailey is scheduled to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. ... LHP Daniel Stumpf has had his rehab assignment transferred to Lehigh Valley.HOT STREAKBoujos is the first Phillie to hit in 14 straight games since Rollins had a 15-game streak in 2014. ... Franco is the first Phillie to homer in three straight games since Darin Ruf in 2013 and the first to have an RBI in five straight games since Ryan Howard in July 2015.ALL-STARSBraves: Teheran is just 3-7 but was named to the NL All-Star team for the second time. He was the lone Brave selected.Phillies: CF Odubel Herrera was the only Phillie named to the NL All-Star team. He entered ranked first in four-hit games with three and had two separate hitting streaks of at least 10 games.Herrera, batting .302, said through an interpreter he was proud to represent the Phillies and burst into laughter when he was good-naturedly asked about participating in the home run derby. He has 10 homers.UP NEXTJenkins (0-1, 5.79 ERA) goes against Phillies RHP Jeremy Hellickson (6-6, 4-06).

Few pundits in the football world expected Liverpool to challenge for the Premier League title this term, but things started in a positive direction for the Reds heading into Match Day 2 at Turf Moor against newly-promoted Burnley on Saturday.This season may turn out to be the year of the manager in the Premier League with Jose Mourinho at the helm of Manchester United, Pep Guardiola guiding Manchester City and Antonio Conte patrolling the touch line at Chelsea. But while all those managers will need some time to adjust to their new clubs, Jurgen Klopp is entering his first full season at Anfield, with only a handful of new players to bed-in.Klopps Reds showed flashes of brilliance as well as some defencive frailties in their wild opening 4-3 win over Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Liverpool were uncharacteristically poor in the opening half as Theo Walcotts strike just 68 seconds after failing to convert a penalty gave the hosts the lead. However, Philippe Coutinhos brilliant free kick from 30 yards out pulled the visitors level at the break before they ran out to a 4-1 lead on the strength of goals from Adam Lallana, Coutinho and new boy Sadio Mane.Scoring four goals is wonderful, conceding three is the opposite of that emotion, Klopp said. We didnt start well in the game. I saw what we spoke about, but I saw we did it with 50 percent of being convinced about what we had to do.We changed our way of defending and we showed and told them where the spaces were, where we could go. Arsenal were better in the first half, of course, but the goal and the penalty was after wed lost the ball. When we had good orientation, used the wings and used the width of the pitchDespite an impressive offencive display, the defence will need to tighten up if the Reds are to take six points from their opening two fixtures. While left-back Alberto Moreno had a challenging afternoon, new centre-back Ragnar Klavan had a solid debut for his new cclub.ddddddddddddt was a crazy game, Klavan told the Liverpool Echo. This is one of the best leagues in the world and when your first game is against Arsenal you know its going to be at a really high level. It was a good for me to see what the Premier League is like.For the spectators, it was an amazing game to watch but there were good moments and bad moments for us. Winning was special but as a centre-half, when your team concedes three goals its never too great a day. You cant be too happy. We have to look into that and we will work on things in training for sure. Theres a lot of room for improvement.On the injury front for the Reds, striker Daniel Sturridge and winger James Milner are nearing a return. The club could be without Mane for the trip to Burnley after the forward suffered a shoulder injury in training on Wednesday.Burnley are aiming to rebound after last weeks 1-0 defeat to Swansea thanks to an 82nd-minute strike from Leroy Fer. Burnley had their chances as Ben Mee missed from close range and Swans goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was forced into a pair of spectacular saves on Sam Vokes and Dean Marney at the death.It was frustrating because I felt we gave a good account of ourselves, Burnley boss Sean Dyche said.The margins are tight and the details are important. We gave away a soft goal, but in the second half in particular we put in a good performance and kept a good side on the back foot.Vokes believes the Clarets can build on a decent opening performance.We played with a lot of freedom and showed that we deserved to be here, he said. We didnt look out of place at all and dominated the game but we just couldnt stick the ball in the net.Liverpool took three points from Burnley the last time the clubs met on March 4, 2015 with a 2-0 win on goals from Sturridge and Jordan Henderson.
