Can Eovaldi Bounce Back in Boston?
Nathan Eovaldi is heading home to Fenway Park. The veteran pitcher spent three seasons with the Red Sox and knows this field inside and out. Right now, Eovaldi's numbers are rough—he's 0-2 with an 8.62 ERA this season. That's not the Eovaldi Red Sox fans remember. Boston needs him to find his old form today. The Rangers are 34-36 and struggling. If Eovaldi pitches sharp, Texas faces a tough battle in this series.
Texas Battered in This Series So Far
The Red Sox dominated the first two games. They crushed Texas 10-1 on Wednesday and won again 6-3 on Friday. Boston's hitters were relentless. Jarren Duran, Jarrett Conteras, and Rafael Devers' teammates kept putting balls in play and scoring runs. Texas got a solo homer from Salvador Burger on Friday but couldn't keep up. The Rangers' pitching has been tested hard. Dallas needs Sunday's win badly to salvage something from this trip.
Who Handles the Big Moment?
Today's game matters. Texas is 0-2 in this series and needs a win before heading home. Boston has problems of its own. Star closer Aroldis Chapman leads their bullpen, but injuries hit Boston hard. Garrett Crochet, their ace, is sidelined. Roman Anthony and Trevor Story are out too. Connelly Early gets the start for Boston, but he's an unknown factor here. Both teams have gaps. Both need answers. Sunday could shift the whole tone of this series.
