BOSTON -- Nathan Eovaldi's debut for the Red Sox was marked by precision (82 pitches, no walks in seven innings) and dominance (four hits, no runs, five strikeouts). The hard-throwing righty created excitement for what he can bring to his new team down the stretch by leading Boston to a 3-0 victory over the Twins on Sunday at Fenway Park.
Eovaldi quickly saw first hand the value that J.D. Martinez and Jackie Bradley Jr. bring to a team that improved to an MLB-best 74-33.
Martinez had all three RBIs to increase his league-leading total to 89.
