ARLINGTON -- Time after time this season, Nathan Eovaldi has picked up the Rangers’ offense.

Entering Monday’s matchup with the Diamondbacks at Globe Life Field, Eovaldi had six-straight winning decisions and had not shouldered a loss since May 22. It was easy to see why. Since he came off the injured list on June 27, Eovaldi had allowed five earned runs in 41 2/3 innings across seven starts. That was a 1.08 ERA in that time frame.

But on Monday, Eovaldi fought through his first rough start of the season, allowing five runs in five innings, including homers from Tyler Locklear, Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo.
