Eovaldi is now up to 13 quality starts on the season -- five of which have come over his last seven outings -- and he sports a 1.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 120:21 K:BB across 123 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next weekend at home against the Guardians.

We won and that’s all that matters,” Eovaldi said after allowing five runs, including three homers in five innings of work Monday.

Nathan Eovaldi impresses with another scoreless performance, strengthening his Cy Young candidacy with a 1.38 ERA.

One of baseball’s best pitchers this season isn’t even listed among the league leaders, and was left off the American League All-Star team.

Nathan Eovaldi's dominance is helping the Rangers hang tough in the playoff race as the trade deadline inches closer.
