Red Sox Start Spring 2-0; Eovaldi Will Pitch Opening Day In New York
The Red Sox have begun their spring training schedule with two wins, a 14-2 pounding of the Twins on Thursday and a 7-6 walkoff win over the Rays on Friday.
The hero of the second game was Christian Koss, who went 3-for-3, clubbing solo home runs in both the eighth and ninth innings, the latter being the game-winner. Bobby Dalbec went deep on both days.
Nathan Eovaldi, who will face the MFY on April 7 in his third consecutive Opening Day start, pitched three innings against the Rays. He faced 12 batters and gave up three hits (including two doubles). After throwing a total of 22 pitches in the first two innings, Eovaldi needed 20 in the third, when he allowed two runs.
