Eovaldi silences Yankees for second consecutive start

Nathan Eovaldi certainly has the New York Yankees’ number — even if nobody else does lately.

The veteran right-hander cooled off Aaron Judge & Co. for the second time in eight days, pitching eight masterful innings for the Texas Rangers in their 6-1 victory.

The 36-year-old Eovaldi, a two-time All-Star who pitched for the Yankees from 2015-16, struck out a season-best eight and walked none, firing 72 of his 101 pitches for strikes.

He allowed just three hits after tossing seven innings of four-hit ball in a 3-0 win over New York on April 29 at home.

Eovaldi became the first Rangers pitcher to last longer than seven innings this year and improved to 5-2 with a 2.22 ERA in his last 11 starts against the Yankees.
