Nathan Eovaldi

Nathan Eovaldi set the tone for the Boston Red Sox 6-2 American League Wild Card victory over the New York Yankees with a brilliant performance on the mound. The Houston, Texas, flame thrower scattered just four hits over five and 1/3 innings of one-run ball with eight total strikeouts. “Nasty Nate” kept the Bronx Bombers in check for the majority of his outing through his prolific arsenal of pitches, highlighted by his upper-90-mph fastball.
