Yankees right-hander Nathan Eovaldi grinded out a quality start on Wednesday, as he earned his 13th win of the season in the 4-3 victory over the Twins. The hard-thrower went seven innings, allowing three runs on four hits. He walked two and struck out eight, throwing a season-high 120 pitches, with many of them reaching 100 mph.
Eovaldi (13-2, 4.24) started the game out in perfect style, as he retired the first 16 batters he faced. But Chris Hermann broke up the perfect game with a bloop single with one out in the sixth inning.
Both runs Eovaldi allowed came in that sixth inning, as the Twins managed to grab a 3-2 lead. But The Yankees regained the lead in the bottom half of the frame, and Eovaldi was able to make it stand up the rest of the way.
Eovaldi is 4-1 with a 3.34 ERA over his past five starts.
