Corey Seager hit his 200th career homer and Nathan Eovaldi pitched seven scoreless innings, leading the Texas Rangers to a 2-1 victory over the lowly Chicago White Sox on Thursday.
"What a job he did," manager Bruce Bochy said of Eovaldi. "You need your pitching to come through and in seven solid innings he did his thing out there."
Eovaldi matched his season high with 10 strikeouts in his second straight win, nearly achieving a no-hitter until Gavin Sheets' single in the fifth.
According to the Rangers, Seager became the first exclusively left-handed-hitting shortstop in MLB history to reach 200 home runs, demonstrating remarkable consistency as he hit 33 homers in each of his first two years with Texas.
