Marlins pitcher Nate Eovaldi lasted just four innings Friday against the Giants.
Eovaldi proved to be fairly hittable, giving up nine hits over the appearance. He allowed eight runs. Eovaldi struck out five and walked one. A big reason for his struggles was the long ball. Eovaldi gave up a two-run shot to Brandon Crawford in the second inning, and then gave up a three-run homer to Pablo Sandoval in the fifth.
With the loss, Eovaldi drops to 5-5 on the year. His ERA jumped to 4.08 following the appearance. Eovaldi’s next start is slated to come against the Braves.
