Marlins pitcher Nate Eovaldi worked seven innings without his best stuff Saturday, in a 7-6 extra-innings loss to the Athletics.
Eovaldi looked like he might not last too long early, as the A's jumped on him for four runs in the first inning. He settled down from that big first inning and ended up leaving with the game tied, after allowing five runs in seven innings. He gave up eight hits and three walks in the game, while striking out three batters on 113 pitches in the no-decision.
Eovaldi had a 2.58 ERA in the month of April, but has come back to Earth since. He finished June with a 4.31 ERA, and is now 5-3 with a 3.71 ERA for the season. Eovaldi's next turn in the rotation is set for Friday in St. Louis.
