The Rangers’ big bats took the reins on Sunday afternoon, leading their club to a 10-4 win over the Blue Jays to avoid a sweep and leave Rogers Centre on a much-needed high note. It started with the trusted veterans and it spread through Texas’ lineup, the type of dominant outing that can give a struggling team something to build on.

Eovaldi is now up to 13 quality starts on the season -- five of which have come over his last seven outings -- and he sports a 1.76 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 120:21 K:BB across 123 innings this season. His next start is lined up for next weekend at home against the Guardians.

As Eovaldi ages, he turns away from overpowering opponents with a fastball and instead relies on deception from the best pitch in his arsenal.

Eovaldi has burst into contention with a historically low ERA and a knack for winning when Texas absolutely needs it.

He wasn't supposed to be the best starting pitcher at baseball at age 35. Then again, he wasn't supposed to become a World Series icon or a Texas Ranger legend, either. What if the Cy Young Award is next?

One of baseball’s best pitchers this season isn’t even listed among the league leaders, and was left off the American League All-Star team.

Through a starter’s first 19 outings of a season, Eovaldi’s 1.38 ERA is the fifth-lowest ever, trailing only Bob Gibson (1.06, 1968), Luis Tiant (1.27, 1968), Zack Greinke (1.30, 2015), and Vida Blue (1.37, 1971).

Eovaldi has risen into Cy Young contention and has a chance to become the first Texas Rangers pitcher to win the award.
