- 3 years ago
FENWAY PARK -- Nathan Eovaldi spoke to the media after the Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees 6-2 on Tuesday winning the American League Wild Card Game and advancing to the ALDS, where they will play the Tampa Bay Rays.
Eovaldi was on his game tonight finishing his day with 5.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 8 SO while holding the Yankees scoreless on 2 hits (both singles) through 5.0 innings before allowing 1 run and 2 hits in the 6th.
Prior to Nathan tonight, the last 2 Red Sox pitchers with 8+ SO and 0 BB in a Postseason game were David Price in Game 5 of the 2018 ALCS at HOU (6.0 IP, 9 SO) and John Lackey in Game 3 of the 2013 ALCS at DET (6.2 IP, 8 SO).
Eovaldi Is 2-1 with a 1.63 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, and .188 opponent AVG in 7 career Postseason appearances (3 GS, 27.2 IP, 19 H, 5 ER, 3 BB, 24 SO) and has won each of his first 3 career Postseason starts (also 2 in 2018). Including the regular season, the Red Sox have won 8 of Eovaldi's last 9 starts and 9 of his last 11.
Nathan was asked about the early hook from Alex Cora and said: "it's obviously frustrating but I understand the situation and everything."
He also talked about attacking the zone tonight saying: “A lineup like that, you have to prevent the ball from leaving the ballpark and attack the zone, ... I feel like if you can attack the zone, it’s going to make your job a little bit easier out there.”
In 20 games against the Yankees in 2021, the Red Sox were 11-9.
Yankees OF Aaron Judge attempted to score in the 6th inning when the Red Sox got him on an 8-6-2 putout (Hernández, Bogaerts, Plawecki).
Boston led MLB with 43 outfield assists during the regular season, their most in a season since 1987 (47).
