After pitching a scoreless inning in his one and only rehab appearance for the Triple-A Pawtucket Red Sox earlier this week, you could say Nathan Eovaldi left with a good taste in his mouth as he resumes his major league career with Boston, beginning tonight in Baltimore.
He made sure his minor league teammates had one, too.
Eovaldi, in the first year of a four-year, $68 million contract he signed in the offseason, treated the PawSox to a dinner of steak and lobster tail after the game, Brendan McGair of the Pawtucket Times reported:
Nathan Eovaldi pitched at McCoy yesterday. Tonight, he treated the @PawSox players & coaches to a big-time spread from Fleming's Steakhouse:
Steak
Lobster tail
Lobster mac & cheese
Caesar salad
mashed potatoes
asparagus
cheesecake #RedSox pic.twitter.com/GFYwm8NeQ4 — Brendan McGair (@BWMcGair03) July 20, 2019

In-depth news coverage of the Greater Boston Area.
With outfielder Rusney Castillo at Pawtucket since 2016 and still a year to go on his seven-year, $72 million deal he signed as a free agent when he left Cuba in 2014, you'd think most of the PawSox, where the minimum Triple-A salary is about $11,000, would be eating pretty good almost every game night.
