Eovaldi leads Rangers' 1-0 shutout over Reds

Nathan Eovaldi delivered a stellar performance for the Texas Rangers, pitching a complete game shutout in a 1-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, marking the first complete game of the MLB season. Eovaldi struck out eight batters and did not allow a walk, becoming the first Rangers pitcher with multiple career shutouts and no walks in the last 30 seasons. Wyatt Langford provided the game's only run with a solo home run in the first inning. Eovaldi's efficiency was evident as he retired the first 12 batters and maintained control throughout the game, needing just 99 pitches. The Rangers improved to a 4-2 record with Eovaldi's performance, which followed a less favorable outing on Opening Day. Eovaldi's consistency and skill are crucial for the Rangers as they aim to bounce back from a challenging previous season.
