Marlins pitcher Nathan Eovaldi turned in a quality start but was unable to factor into the decision Saturday night at home against Atlanta. The right-hander permitted three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven over 6 1/3 innings of a 4-3 defeat.

Over his last two starts covering 13 innings, Eovaldi has allowed only four earned runs. He owns a 4.19 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP over 29 starts (178 1/3 innings). He will make his next start Thursday at Milwaukee.
