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.
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.
