Marlins pitcher Nate Eovaldi was on his way to a spectacular start until the seventh inning.
Eovaldi cruised through the first six innings of the game. He got off to a solid start in the seventh, striking out Yonder Alonso on three pitches. After two straight singles, the Padres decided to pinch hit Alexi Amarista for pitcher Ian Kennedy.
Amarista worked Eovaldi for a nine-pitch at-bat, and was able to take a slider out to right for a three-run shot. Eovaldi's pitch was actually pretty far inside, but Amarista was able to get a hold of it. The play ruined what would have been another strong start by the Marlins' second starter.
Eovaldi gave up six hits and three runs over seven innings. He struck out eight and did not give up any walks during the appearance. Eovaldi is now 1-1 on the season. He'll take on the Phillies in his next start.
