Texas Rangers hurler Nathan Eovaldi is speaking out about a rough outing he had against the Arizona Diamondbacks Monday.

Eovaldi, who was nails in last outing and legendarily great all season, was suddenly homer prone tonight. A five inning, five run, three dinger outing saw Eovaldi’s ERA balloon to 1.71 on the year. Still excellent, sure, but also nearly half a run worse than when the evening began and it put the Rangers in a 5-0 hole through three innings.

Nathan Eovaldi impresses with another scoreless performance, strengthening his Cy Young candidacy with a 1.38 ERA.
