Nathan Eovaldi KO'd in 8-run first as Marlins rout Yanks

MIAMI - On this night, few trades ever looked more lopsided.

Nathan Eovaldi and David Phelps, involved in a December deal between the Yankees and Marlins, faced each other Tuesday night and it was embarrassingly one-sided, as the Yankees fell, 12-2, in front of 33,083 fans at Marlins Park.

Eovaldi, a hard-throwing but underperforming righty in his career, was the centerpiece of the deal from the Yankees' perspective. He lasted two-thirds of an inning, rocked for nine hits and eight runs.

"Frustration," Eovaldi said of the feeling walking off the mound after the shortest outing of his career.
