Live stream the Philadelphia Phillies at Texas Rangers MLB game on fuboTV: Start your free trial today! The Phillies roughed up Jacob deGrom in his Texas debut Thursday, knocking the.His strength is not velocity – his fastball has little movement or deception – so much as it is having precise location at the top of the zone at high-90s speed to force early swing decisions, and then using his secondary pitches to disrupt timing. Eovaldi was the only starter in MLB this year to throw five different pitch types (four-seamer, curveball, slider, splitter, cutter) at least 10 percent of the time.In 2018, he was 2-1 with a 1.89 ERA in 19 innings in Game 3, with wins in the ALDS against the Yankees and the ALCS against the Astros, and a loss – in the most memorable of all of them – out of the bullpen against the Dodgers in the World Series. Eovaldi has pitched in all four Red Sox Game 3s in the last two postseasons.Eovaldi’s 1.63 postseason ERA is the eighth lowest of the Wild Card era (1995-present) by a pitcher who has thrown at least 25 playoff innings.In three starts, he had an 0.86 ERA and held the Rays to a.
Eovaldi dominated Tampa Bay at Fenway this year.The Sox managed two runs on four hits in the third to take a 3-2 lead, but one wonders if they’ll rue a missed opportunity after opening the inning with four straight singles.Ī few notes on Red Sox starter Nate Eovaldi: Kittredge – summoned because Martinez has struggled all year with big velocity – attacked Martinez with hard stuff, striking him out on a 96-m.p.h. With runners on second and third and two outs, Kevin Cash made his second pitching change of the inning, targeting righthander Andrew Kittredge for J.D. After Devers greeted Fleming by grounding an RBI single up the middle to put the Sox up, 3-2, Fleming bounced back with a strikeout and grounder by Alex Verdugo. We are very much in the wheels-constantly-turning postseason format. He’s done after 2-plus innings, with lefty Josh Fleming in the game for Rafael Devers. Rays manager Kevin Cash has seen enough of Rasmussen. But with a compact swing and simple mechanics, his timing at the plate has looked sharp in his return to everyday duty for the postseason. But the inning was set up by Arroyo, who jumped on a first-pitch slider from Rasmussen to open the inning with a single up the middle.Īrroyo sat for most of the second half with an array of injuries, COVID, and with the Sox keeping Jose Iglesias in the lineup down the stretch. Hernández (2-for-2 through three innings) is in a great place, swinging at strikes and ignoring pitches outside of the zone while going 7-for-8 in the last two games. Three straight Red Sox singled to open the third inning against Tampa Bay’s Drew Rasmussen, with Kiké Hernández dropping a single to shallow center after Christian Arroyo led off the inning with a single and advanced to third when Kyle Schwarber ripped a single down the right field line. Had Franco reached, Taylor likely would have been summoned to face lefthander Austin Meadows (who homered in the first inning).Īs it stands, Cora must decide between having a lefthander come in for the sixth – which would likely prompt a pinch-hitter and then a matchup against Nelson Cruz, destroyer of lefties – or letting Eovaldi or a righthanded reliever face Meadows. The inning concluded with lefthander Josh Taylor warming behind Eovaldi. He retired Brandon Lowe on a liner to center, then got Wander Franco to ground a splitter to Kyle Schwarber at first for the last out of the inning. Entrusted with a chance to face the top of the Rays lineup for a third time in a pivotal situation, Eovaldi didn’t buckle. 9 hitter Joey Wendle lined a one-out double to the opposite field, putting the tying run on second. The subsequent 14 batters went 0-for-13 with seven strikeouts and a walk.īut Rays No. Nate Eovaldi, after the two-run homer by Meadows in the first, dominated the Rays.
