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.
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.
