Eovaldi allowed two runs on eight hits across six innings of work in a no-decision Friday against the Yankees, striking out three while walking two.
Eovaldi's 11.6 percent strikeout rate in the outing wasn't particularly encouraging, but he worked out of enough jams to keep the Red Sox competitive in a game they'd eventually win. Seven of his 10 baserunners and both of his runs allowed came in the first three frames, but he settled down after that and exited with his team down 2-1. It hasn't been a great season for Eovaldi, whose ERA sits at 4.15, but he's at least thrown at least six innings in four straight outings, posting a 3.70 ERA over that stretch. He'll look to keep that run going next week against the Pirates.
