Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi delivers the first pitch in the first inning against the Chicago Cubs during the season opener at Globe Life Field, Thursday, March 28, 2024, in Arlington.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Left to try to describe another gem of a start by the best free agency consolation prize in“The fastball,” he said after a 4-1 win over Tampa Bay ended the first week of the Rangers’ season with a second consecutive series win. “It all starts with that.
“I had a good feel for it right out of the gate,” Eovaldi said. “We were trying to attack these guys inside and be aggressive. Any time we have that kind of command it’s going to be good for us.”He constantly used the splitter, not so much as a put-away pitch, but to get to two strikes. At that point, he could do almost anything: Four-seamer, curveball, cutter. Used them all. The third time he faced the order, he questioned himself.
He went to the seventh inning Wednesday with 84 pitches holding a tenuous 1-0 lead. Finished things off by striking out the 4-6 hitters in the Rays lineup on a splitter, curve and another splitter.“He’s one of the elite pitchers in the game,” Bochy said. “We’ve seen this so many times. Just a tremendous outing.”, Rangers beat writer/insider. Evan has covered the Rangers since 1997. He has twice been named one of the top 10 beat writers in the country by the AP Sports Editors.
