He took his second loss in as many starts, falling to 1\u20132 with a 6.32 ERA (11 ER\/15 2\/3 IP) through three outings this season. Eovaldi permitted season highs in hits (10), runs (6), and earned runs (6), allowing multiple scores in the second (3) and fourth (2) frames. Vinnie Pasquantino\u2019s solo homer in the third was the first long ball that Eovaldi has surrendered this season. Eovaldi struck out a season-high seven batters without issuing a walk, as he has posted 19 strikeouts\/3 walks on the year. He recorded a season-high 18 swing-and-miss strikes on Wednesday (Statcast).<\/p>\n<h4>Postgame Comments:<\/h4>\n<p>When asked about Eovaldi&#8217;s start in his postgame media session, Rangers manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/managers\/bochybr01.shtml\"><strong>Bruce Bochy<\/strong><\/a> said, &#8220;He was sharp in the first inning, and then in the second inning, he gave up a couple of infield hits, and they sort of got to him there. It was just bad luck for him the entire night. They got some big hits and some momentum, and they never really stopped after that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Eovaldi also gave his thoughts postgame about his start, saying: &#8220;I felt a lot better this time with my splitter, and I had a lot better depth with it. I think that second inning I started rushing. I don&#8217;t know why I felt like I was having to be quick to the plate on every pitch. They (Royals) are a contact hitting team, and they were driving the ball early in counts, and I didn&#8217;t do a good enough job of executing my pitches&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h5>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"y7Ds9PqoTmpsjlglMuhjIw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1481790922\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'y7Ds9PqoTmpsjlglMuhjIw',sig:'GV1KHI8M9_cB_0EJYDfHen-bnddEgjDRFdOn4o9lY4I=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1481790922',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royals 10, Rangers 1 ARLINGTON, Tex.
