Eovaldi (9-7) gave up three earned runs on three hits and two walks over six innings in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Rays. He struck out four.
He was touched up for a long ball for the first time in six appearances, giving up a solo homer to Brad Miller in the first and a two-run blast to Curt Casali in the third. Eovalidi also turned in his second straight quality start, and despite the loss Saturday, enjoyed a solid July. It was a strong bounce-back month for the 26-year-old right-hander, after a June in which he generated an 0-3 record and 8.65 ERA. He'll look to extend his recent success into August when he takes on the Mets next Thursday.
