Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi got off to a rocky start in Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Rays, allowing a two-run home run to Austin Meadows in the top of the first inning, but he settled down to only allow those two runs on three hits and a walk with eight strikeouts through five innings. He took a no-decision in the 13-inning 6-4 Red Sox victory. Eovaldi has earned a reputation as a big-game pitcher, registering a 1.93 ERA aan 0.80 WHIP across 32 2/3 playoff innings in eight games and four starts. He's been outstanding in 2021 and should be a value in 2022 drafts.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi has been named the starter for Game 3 of the ALDS against the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday. The 31-year-old right-hander is coming off of a fantastic start against the New York Yankees in the AL Wild Card game. In the outing, he pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed four hits, no walks and one earned run while striking out eight. The Rays have yet to name their starter for the game. It could be Michael Wacha or it could be a bullpen game led by Collin McHugh. Eovaldi faced the Rays four times this year and went 2-1 with a 2.39 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi threw six scoreless innings to earn his 11th win of the season Sunday, allowing just four hits and one walk while striking out seven in a 6-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. His record now stands at 11-9. Eovaldi appears to be finished pitching for the regular season barring a tie-breaking 163rd game being added to the schedule. He's been excellent for fantasy managers with a 3.75 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 195 strikeouts in 182 1/3 innings.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi simply didn't have it against the New York Yankees Friday, giving up seven runs on seven hits and two walks in 2 2/3 innings. He struck out no batters and took his ninth loss of the season. This qualifies as the worst outing of the season for Eovaldi, and it's the first time this year he has failed to strike out a batter. It's quite a shock for fantasy managers who have come to rely on the solid right-hander. He still carries a solid 3.88 ERA and 1.20 WHIP for the season, and should be counted on going forward despite this performance.

He has a 3.58 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 188 strikeouts in 173 2/3 innings for the season, making him a strong streaming option at the very worst.

With a 3.72 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, and 171 strikeouts in 163 2/3 innings, Eovaldi contributes in every category and should be a very reliable option the rest of the way.

Eovaldi has allowed a grand total of three earned runs in his last three starts, and now has a 3.72 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, and 147 strikeouts in 145 innings this season.

Eovaldi deserves better than his 10-8 record, with a solid 3.91 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 140 strikeouts in 138 innings. He's a solid fantasy rotation option in leagues of all sizes.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi had everything clicking against the Tampa Bay Rays Wednesday night as he threw a seven-inning gem. He allowed just one run on three hits and a walk with ten strikeouts. It turned out to be a better performance than Boston needed as they blew out the Rays 20-8, giving Eovaldi his 10th win on the year. It was an important bounce-back for the right-hander, who had given up 12 runs over 10 innings in his last two starts. Eovaldi remains a solid rotation option for successful fantasy squads.

Eovaldi's record drops to 9-7 with this loss, and his ERA rises yet again to 4.07. Before his last two starts, it had sat at a much stronger 3.49. Despite Eovaldi's strong overall season, it's hard to trust him at this point. He belongs on benches until he turns in a better outing.

With a 3.71 ERA, a 1.19 WHIP, and 120 strikeouts in 121 1/3 innings, he's no fantasy ace, but he remains worthy of a roster spot.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Patrick Sandoval had his no-hit bid broken up with one out in the ninth inning on a soft double by rookie Brent Rooker and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 2-1 on Saturday night. Sandoval, a 24-year-old lefty who began the game with a 3-13 career record, struck out a career-high 13. There have already been seven no-hitters in the majors this season. The big league record of eight was set in 1884, the first year overhand pitching was permitted. The Twins hadn’t come close to a hit until Rooker, who fanned his first three times up, flared an opposite-field fly that fell just inside the line in right. Sandoval (3-4) smiled after the ball fell, retired the next batter and then was pulled after 108 pitches. He walked one and hit two. Closer Raisel Iglesias allowed an RBI double to Josh Donaldson before getting his 21st save in 25 chances. José Berríos (7-5) allowed two unearned runs in seven innings in perhaps his final start for Minnesota. ASTROS 4, RANGERS... [More]
