The Red Sox look to escape Kansas City with a series win when they wrap their three-game set this afternoon behind Nathan Eovaldi (2:10 p.m., NESN).
Eovaldi is coming off maybe his best start of the season against the muscular Blue Jays, during which he pitches 62⁄3 innings of scoreless baseball and only allowed three hits. The Sox will look to start another winnings streak today, and Eovaldi knows it’s on his shoulders after Martín Pérez’s good start yesterday, writes MLB.com’s Jordan Horrobin:
“Whenever we get on a good streak, it starts with good pitching,” Eovaldi said.
