Eovaldi (1-2) allowed one run on five hits and a walk while striking out four in 4.1 innings to take the loss against the Astros on Friday in Game 6 of the ALCS.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi was relatively effective at holding the Astros in check to begin Friday's matchup, with the only run he allowed coming via a double in the bottom of the first inning. However, the Red Sox only mustered two hits during the game, forcing the right-hander to settle for the loss. The 31-year-old made five appearances (four starts) during the postseason and recorded a 4.79 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 20.2 innings.

Manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Eovaldi is still available to pitch in Game 6 of the ALCS against the Astros on Friday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi threw 24 pitches as a reliever in Tuesday's Game 4 loss. However, he tentatively lines up to make his fourth postseason start on the road in Game 6 on Friday and seems to have a good chance to take the mound to begin the game.

Eovaldi (1-1) allowed four runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss against the Astros in Game 4 of the ALCS on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi made his first relief appearance of the postseason after starting in each of his first three outings, but he was roughed up in the top of the ninth inning. It's not clear whether the right-hander will be able to start one of the final two games of the ALCS after he tossed 24 pitches in Tuesday's contest.

Eovaldi picked up the win in Game 2 of the ALCS against the Astros on Saturday, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over 5.1 innings of work while striking out three batters.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't the most dominant performance of the postseason for Eovaldi, who came into the day with a 2.61 ERA and a 16:1 K:BB through his first two playoff starts. It didn't have to be, however, as the Red Sox hit one grand slam in the top of the first and another in the top of the second. Eovaldi only allowed a single baserunner through his first three innings before getting scored on three times in his fourth frame, but he had a nine-run cushion to work with at that point. He'll be on schedule to start Game 6 next Friday but could potentially be used in relief before then if necessary.

Eovaldi will start Game 2 of the ALCS against the Astros on Saturday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi will make his third start of the postseason after he recorded a 2.61 ERA and 0.77 WHIP in 10.1 innings across his first two outings. Chris Sale will take the mound for the series opener.

Eovaldi allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out eight in five innings during Sunday's win over the Rays in Game 3 of the ALDS. He didn't factor into the decision.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi gave up a two-run homer in the top of the first inning Sunday but settled down and finished his outing by tossing four scoreless frames. The right-hander has lasted at least five innings in each of his first two postseason starts in 2021and will likely make his next appearance in the ALCS if the Red Sox advance.

Eovaldi (1-0) allowed one run on four hits and no walks while striking out eight in 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Yankees in Tuesday's AL Wild Card Game.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi tossed six scoreless innings in his final regular-season start of the 2021 campaign, and he maintained his success in his first postseason outing of the year. The righty exited the contest after he gave up a solo home run to Anthony Rizzo with one out in the sixth inning, but Eovaldi is a strong candidate to make a start in the upcoming ALDS against the Rays.

Eovaldi will start Tuesday's AL Wild Card Game against the Yankees, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eovaldi delivered six scoreless innings to earn the win against the Orioles on Wednesday, and he'll take the mound in Tuesday's winner-take-all game. The right-hander made 14 starts after the All-Star break and posted a 3.87 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 79 innings during that time.

Eovaldi (11-9) pitched six shutout innings, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out seven to earn the win Wednesday over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander bounced back from a nightmarish start against the Yankees last Friday, keeping runs off the board for the fifth time in 32 starts this year. Eovaldi's strong performance bolsters Boston's hopes of a wild-card spot. He's pitched to a 3.75 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 195:35 K:BB in 182.1 innings overall. Eovaldi is not expected to make another start in the regular season, but he could be a starting option if Boston is forced to play a tiebreaking Game 163.

Eovaldi (10-9) took the loss Friday as the Red Sox were downed 8-3 by the Yankees, surrendering seven runs on seven hits and two walks over 2.2 innings. He failed to strike out a batter.

EDGE Analysis

With Boston fighting to hang onto a wild-card spot, the right-hander picked a bad time to deliver his worst start of the season. Eovaldi tossed 37 of 59 pitches for strikes, with a three-run blast by Giancarlo Stanton in the third inning being the biggest blow against him. Eovaldi will take a 3.88 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 188:34 K:BB through 176.1 innings into what is likely to be his final start of the regular season next week in Baltimore.
