ARLINGTON, TEXAS - APRIL 29: Nathan Eovaldi #17 of the Texas Rangers pitches against the New York Yankees in the top of the third inning at Globe Life Field on April 29, 2023 in Arlington, Texas. Nathan Eovaldi pitched a three-hitter for his first big league nine-inning shutout, Ezequiel Duran hit a two-run homer in the fifth and thebeat the listless Yankees 2-0 Saturday night for New York’s fifth loss in seven games.
"Classic Nate when he’s really on top of it. He kind of bullied us," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. "He used both sides of the plate, was a little bit unpredictable between slowing us down a little bit with the curveball." The 27-year-old fell to the ground and held onto the ball for the final out of the inning, stranding Travis Jankowski on second base. New York said X-rays were negative.
His only previous shutout was a five-inning, rain-shortened game for Boston against Tampa Bay last Oct. 4. It was the third career complete game for Eovaldi and the first shutout by a Texas pitcher at Globe Life Field, which opened in 2020.
