BOSTON — Not one, not two, not three, not four. Five.
On Tuesday night at Fenway Park, Nathan Eovaldi made history – and the Red Sox’ No. 1 starter wasn’t on the right side of it. In a sequence that could only be described as shocking, Eovaldi allowed five home runs in the second inning as the Red Sox were rolled over by the Astros in a 13-4 beating.
It was a stunning series of events for any pitcher, let alone an All-Star caliber pitcher of Eovaldi’s quality.
