In a game that was even more one sided than the final score indicated, the Rangers cruised to a five run victory in a contest that was never competitive.
Most of this had to do with Nathan Eovaldi just pitching much, much better than Lucas Giolito. It wasn’t even close! Giolito allowed a run before the Boston bats ever came to the dish while Eovaldi allowed just one run all night. Giolito couldn’t make it out of the fourth inning, Eovaldi got through six. Giolito allowed five runs in a single inning, Eovaldi allowed just five hits his whole outing.
