The Marlins' bullpen wasted a strong outing from starting pitcher Nate Eovaldi Sunday. Luckily, the game wasn't lost, as Jeff Mathis sent Miami to a 6-2 win with a walk-off grand slam in the ninth inning.
Eovaldi tossed six shutout innings, allowing four hits and three walks. But as soon as he was lifted for a reliever, the Marlins gave up a 2-0 lead. Eovaldi had no strikeouts Sunday, which was just the second time that has happened to Eovaldi in his career during a start. The right-hander has allowed a total of four runs in his first three starts and has a 2.00 ERA.
He will be back on the hill Friday at St. Louis.
