Nathan Eovaldi, Rangers Keep Yankees Off the Board
Eovaldi allowed four hits and struck out seven as Texas snapped New York’s momentum and earned its third shutout of the season.
On Wednesday in Arlington, Texas, Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven scoreless innings, leading the Texas Rangers to a 3-0 victory over the New York Yankees to avoid a three-game sweep.
Eovaldi rebounded from a difficult Friday loss against the Athletics, where he surrendered four homers, by holding the AL-best Yankees to just four hits on Wednesday.
Josh Jung hit a two-run single in the fifth inning off New York rookie Elmer Rodriguez, who allowed two runs over four-plus innings in his major league debut.
Jacob Latz secured the Rangers' third shutout of the season with two scoreless relief innings, while New York suffered its second shutout loss this year.
The Yankees, who went 7-2 on their nine-game road trip, return home to face Baltimore on Friday, while the Rangers travel to Detroit for their next series.
