Red Sox P Nathan Eovaldi ($10,100; 37.95 FPTS) took full advantage of a dreadful White Sox lineup Thursday, striking out ten batters and only allowing one hit in his seven scoreless innings of work. The ten punchouts tied a season-high for Eovaldi, and they came against a Chicago club that ranks dead-last in runs per game this season.
Eovaldi was the most rostered player in the $125K Relay Throw at 38%.
Corey Seager ($5,600; 14 FPTS) also made some noise Thursday with a solo shot for the Rangers, while Josh Jung ($3,800; 16 FPTS) had two hits and two stolen bases. Additionally, Josh Smith ($3,900; 10 FPTS) and Nathaniel Lowe ($3,600; 10 FPTS) both had two hits, including one double each for Texas.
Thursday marked the White Sox’s jaw dropping 103rd loss this season, which is the worst in the MLB by a mile The only noteworthy performer they had in the defeat was Andrew Benintendi ($3,000; 16 FPTS). With the Rangers looking to complete the shutout win the bottom of the ninth, the veteran hit a solo homer to give Chicago their lone score of the day.
