Nick Pivetta Eats Up Innings In Relief
3 years agoBoston Red Sox pitcher Nick Pivetta threw 4 2/3 innings in relief in Game 1, coming on to start the third inning after Eduardo Rodriguez and Garrett Richards combined for the first six outs. Pivetta gave up three runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts. The greatest service Pivetta did was to preserve the bullpen for Game 2, and with Rodriguez's ineffectiveness, he may be in line to start Game 4 should the series get that far. With his strikeout upside, he could make for a solid DFS play in that event.
