Eovaldi did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing four runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings.
Analysis:
Eovaldi continued to miss bats effectively Tuesday, recording 14 whiffs while throwing 66 of his 93 pitches for strikes. The veteran right-hander entered the seventh inning in line for both the win and a quality start, but things unraveled quickly as he allowed four straight baserunners, leading to two runs that tied the game and forced his exit. The 11 hits allowed were a season high for Eovaldi, though he still completed six innings for his seventh consecutive start. He owns a 4.10 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 74:17 K:BB across 74.2 innings and is slated to face Kansas City next.
