17-19 – No complaints as Rangers, Eovaldi handle Yankees 6-1
Corey Seager and Evan Carter go deep in Texas victrory
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 06: Corey Seager #5 of the Texas Rangers looks on after hitting a solo home run during the first inning against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on May 06, 2026 in the Bronx borough of New York City.

months? years? ) about the offense, the Rangers had a few ingredients going for them tonight that left us with a better taste in our mouths.
For one, they had Nathan Eovaldi on the mound and he seems to have New York’s number. Sporting a 1. 59 ERA over seven starts against the Yankees during his tenure with Texas, Eovaldi was practically as masterful as his win over New York from April when he went seven shutout innings.
Tonight, with the mood waning as the road trip trudges on, Eovaldi provided a pep in Texas’ step as he went eight innings of one-run ball on three hits with zero walks and eight strikeouts. The only blemish on his evening came when Aaron Judge won a sixth inning battle and swatted a solo home run. That’ll happen to anyone.
