ST. PETERSBURG -- Nathan Eovaldi carried the torch on Tuesday afternoon.
Not even 24 hours after Blake Snell held the Nationals hitless for six innings, Eovaldi held Washington hitless for 5 2/3 innings.
Bryce Harper finally ended the suspense when he doubled with two outs in the sixth to break up the bid. Eovaldi finished with six scoreless innings before handing off to Diego Castillo to start the seventh.
Eovaldi allowed just the one hit and two walks while striking out nine, throwing 100 pitches, of which 64 were strikes.
