Rangers Rally Behind Eovaldi's Near-No-Hitter | MLB News
Description
Nathan Eovaldi nearly tossed a no-hitter before falling just short in the fifth inning, striking out nine and earning his ninth win as the Rangers offense exploded for 17 hits and three solo homers from Elias Díaz, Josh Smith, and Evan Carter — securing a 10-4 rout. Smith, recalled from Triple-A just the day before, crushed his first career pinch-hit homer on a first-pitch fastball, while Carter, activated from the IL, added his own blast in the eighth. Detroit’s rally — sparked by back-to-back homers from Colt Keith and Hao-Yu Lee — broke up the no-hitter but couldn’t overcome Framber Valdez’s rough outing, which snapped Detroit’s 35-game streak of starters allowing four or fewer runs. The Rangers’ seven wins in their last eight games continue their hot streak, and the series heads to Saturday with Jack Flaherty facing Kumar Rocker.
