Nasty Nate was at it again. The Boston Red Sox defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a split-squad game on Saturday behind another strong start from Nathan Eovaldi.
The right-hander tossed three shutout innings, allowing only one hit while striking out four. He still hasn’t allowed a run through three starts this spring and only five batters have reached base against him in eight innings.
Eovaldi came out firing with a 97 mph fastball and kept his velocity hovering in the upper-90s throughout his outing. Eovaldi isn’t one to dial it back simply because this is a meaningless spring training game.
