Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Foo64': [1.2, 2.4, 7.24],
})

df['Foo32'] = df['Foo64'].astype('float32')

df.eval('-1 + Foo64')   # Works
df.eval('-1 + Foo32')   # Throws Exception

```

Problem description

df.eval(...) operations fail if one of the columns involved is of type float32 and some unary operations are involved. In the example above df.eval('-1 + Foo32') failed, but df.eval('-Foo32') will succeed, and df.eval('-1*Foo32') will also fail.

Originally I tested fixing this by just adding self.value = operand.value to the UnaryOp object, before I realized that this issue only affects float32 objects. I haven't looked to see where the code branches off to cause this misbehavior.

This was tested and reproduced on both 0.20.3 and 0.22.0

Expected Output

No exception thrown.

Looks like a duplicate of https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/16363. Some more details there if you want to try submitting a fix.

Thanks! didn't find it this morning, though I only searched from my phone... thanks!
