Nick Pivetta Allows One Hit In No-Decision
3 years agoBoston Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta threw a gem in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays, giving up just one hit and one walk in six innings. He struck out five batters. This may well be the best outing of his season, but it wasn't enough to earn Pivetta the win, as Boston was shut out in a 1-0 loss. This is the first time in three outings that Pivetta was able to complete five innings. There's plenty of upside here, but it's hard to trust him given his 4.34 ERA. Pivetta is a strong streamer, especially against free-swinging lineups.
