The rollercoaster stretch for Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi continued Wednesday against lowly Texas.
Eovaldi followed three strong starts with a dud. He suffered through three straight poor outings previous to that.
The right-hander yielded five runs to the Rangers in the first two innings. He surrendered six hits in those frames, including doubles by J.P. Arencibia and Alex Rios that combined to plate four runs. Eovaldi settled down to pitch three shutout innings thereafter, but still lowered his record to 6-8. He has just one win since June 23.
He is set to start again Tuesday against the host Angels.
