MLB: Eovaldi stellar in return

Nathan Eovaldi pitched six innings of no-hit ball in his return to the majors following a second Tommy John surgery, leading the Rays to a 6-0 win over the Athletics on Wednesday night in Oakland, Calif.

Eovaldi (1-0) faced one over the minimum through six innings in his Tampa Bay debut. He threw 70 pitches and had four strikeouts. The only runner to reach base against him was Matt Chapman, who drew a one-out walk in the first.

Wilmer Font gave up Jed Lowrie’s one-out single in the seventh for Oakland’s only hit of the game. Former Yankee Vidal Nuno got the last three outs to finish the one-hitter.

J.D. Martinez hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park, and the Red Sox beat the Blue Jays 6-4 to complete a three-game sweep in Boston.

In Cleveland, Corey Kluber pitched six shutout innings and became the first AL pitcher with eight victories as the Indians rolled to their fifth straight win, 9-1 over the White Sox.

Phillies outfielder Rhys Hoskins is likely headed to the DL after further examination revealed he has a fractured jaw after being hit in the mouth by his own foul ball against the Dodgers’ Kenley Jansen on Monday, and delivering a pinch-hit double on Tuesday.

In Detroit, Shohei Ohtani was rolling along for five innings against the Tigers . However, thanks to two rain delays, that’s all the got from their young star. With Ohtani out of the game, Jose Iglesias’ two-run single keyed a five-run sixth inning and the Tigers went on to a 6-1 victory.
