Dana Eveland allowed three hits over seven innings in the Dodgers' shutout of the Giants on Saturday. Eveland has allowed one run in 15 innings since getting the call, and he deserves some credit for it. Still, this is a left-hander with a career 5.52 ERA. That he's gotten to face the Pirates and Giants in back-to-back starts is a big factor in his recent success.

Making his season debut, Dana Eveland held the Pirates to one run over eight innings Thursday in a victory over the Pirates. Manager Don Mattingly didn't let Eveland go for his second career complete game, even though he was at a modest 99 pitches after eight innings. Eveland's major league stints in 2009 and 2010 were disasters, combining for a 6.95 ERA and a 46/58 K/BB ratio in 98 1/3 innings. He'll probably finish out the season in the Dodger rotation, but it wouldn't be a good idea to pick him up based on one outing.

Dodgers purchased the contract RHP Dana Eveland from Triple-A Albuquerque. As expected, he'll make the start Thursday afternoon against the Pirates. Eveland, 27, has a 4.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 107/61 K/BB ratio over 25 starts this season at the Triple-A level. He will presumably stay in the starting rotation now that rookie Nate Eovaldi is headed to the bullpen, but we wouldn't trust him in fantasy leagues.

Dana Eveland will start Thursday vs. the Pirates. Eveland, 27, has registered a 4.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 107/61 K/BB ratio in 25 starts this year at Triple-A Albuquerque. He's unlikely to have success against Pittsburgh.
