Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi set to start against his former team at Fenway Park on Thursday

Seven scoreless innings in win Eovaldi (10-3) earned the win Saturday, allowing two hits and four walks over seven scoreless innings against Houston. He struck out five.
Impact Eovaldi tossed at least seven scoreless innings for the fourth time this year and picked up his 10th win. Barring some issues with his velocity, the veteran's first season in Texas has been phenomenal thus far, as he sports career-best marks in ERA (2.64) and WHIP (0.99) across 17 starts. With Jacob deGrom (elbow) set to miss the remainder of the season, Eovaldi is now the ace of the Rangers' rotation and will look to continue putting up dominating performances. His next start is projected for a three-game set against his former team, the Red Sox.

Five strikeouts in no-decision Eovaldi did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out five.
Impact Coming into Sunday, Eovaldi had given up 11 runs over his last three starts, including five home runs, but the right-hander kept the ball in the park Sunday and allowed two or fewer runs for just the second time in June. However, he failed to complete the sixth inning for the first time since May 29. Despite his recent struggles, Eovaldi has still been sharp overall and sports a 2.18 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 101:23 K:BB across 16 appearances (105.1 innings). His next start is lined up for a three-game weekend series versus Houston.

Explains velocity dip Eovaldi said Saturday that a "mechanical issue" was the root cause in a decrease in velocity during his last start, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Eovaldi struggled over six innings against the White Sox last Tuesday, and his dip in fastball velocity prompted speculation. The right-hander averaged 93.8 mph, his lowest of the season and second lowest since beginning of 2022. "I'm aware that my velocity was down [Tuesday]," Eovaldi said Saturday. "But I'm like, OK, I've got four different pitches. If I learned anything from last year, it's that even if velocity wasn't there, I can still go out and compete without my mid-90s fastball. I felt fine." Rangers manager Bruce Bochy doesn't appear to be worried, as he moved up Eovaldi's next start from Monday (against Detroit) to Sunday's series finale against the Yankees. When the Rangers have an off day, as they did Thursday, Bochy typically gives a starter an extra day of rest but opted to have Eovaldi pitch on normal rest.

Struggles against ChiSox Eovaldi did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against the White Sox. He struck out four.
Impact Eovaldi struggled with the long ball Tuesday, surrendering a two-run home run to Eloy Jiminez in the first and a solo homer to Elvis Andrus in the fifth to mark his second straight start giving up multiple homers after doing so just once all season. After allowing one or no runs in six of his previous seven starts, Eovaldi has given up at least three runs in three consecutive appearances and sports a 5.12 ERA with a 19:7 K:BB while giving up five homers.

Fans nine in loss Eovaldi (9-3) took the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings against the Angels. He struck out nine.
Impact Despite taking his first loss since April 12, Eovaldi racked up another quality start, moving him up to 11th in MLB with nine on the year. He was tagged for two solo homers on the day, one by Chad Wallach in the second and the other by Mickey Moniak in the seventh. Across his last two appearances, Eovaldi has combined for seven earned runs and a 3:1 K:BB over 13.1 innings after allowing four runs with a 46:9 K:BB in his seven previous starts (52.2 innings). The 33-year-old is expected to toe the rubber next against the White Sox in Chicago.

Notches ninth victory Eovaldi (9-2) earned the win over Tampa Bay on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out six batters over 6.1 innings.
Impact This won't go down as one of Eovaldi's best starts this season, but he was staked to an early lead and cruised to the win, with the only hiccup being a four-run fourth inning by the Rays. Eovaldi is now tied with Tampa Bay ace Shane McClanahan for the MLB lead in victories on the campaign, and he hasn't been stuck with a loss since April 12. The right-hander's 2.49 ERA and 0.98 WHIP are easily on pace for the best marks of his career.
