Eovaldi (9-8) gave up four runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings in Thursday's loss to the Mets. He struck out five.

EDGE Analysis

Two big swings in the fifth inning were the difference for Eovaldi in this one -- Kelly Johnson's solo homer and Jay Bruce's three-run shot. Never very homer-prone, Eovaldi's seen a profusion of long balls added to his line this year, as he's now allowed 23 -- just one less than in his last two seasons (spanning some 354 innings) combined. Year after year, fantasy owners draft Eovaldi hoping that his big fastball will translate to quality results, and year after year, they're disappointed.
