EDGE Analysis

The Rangers wound up getting shut out 8-0 in the matinee, and Eovaldi didn't help matters by needing 81 pitches (50 strikes) to record only nine outs. The veteran right-hander has been tagged for eight runs in eight innings over his first two starts in August, a steep decline from a July that saw him deliver five quality starts in six trips to the mound with a 3.23 ERA and dazzling 32:0 K:BB in 39 innings. Eovaldi will look to re-discover that form in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Twins.
