Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi gets truth bomb after 8-strikeout effort vs. Reds

Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi proved to be stellar in his latest start against the Cincinnati Reds, as he struck eight batters and allowed just one run in six innings of work. Semien, the Rangers' second baseman who hit a solo home run, scoring one of his team's two runs in the 2-1 victory, commended Eovaldi for his outing on the mound (6.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 8 K) and indicated that the team's offense is the only thing really holding back the defending World Series champions so far this season. “Evo (Eovaldi's nickname) is the ultimate competitor,” Semien said, per MLB.com.
