Nick Pivetta Picks Up Win, Six K's on Wednesday
Nick Pivetta notched a quality start in the first game of a Wednesday doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies. Pivetta allowed one run on seven hits over six innings of work while striking out six and walking none in the 6-4 win over Philly. The veteran hurler improved his record to 9-2, to go along with a 3.25 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 107 strikeouts over 97 innings of work. Pivetta struggled a bit in June with a 4.71 ERA, so his excellent start on Wednesday was certainly a welcome sight. He will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set for Monday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
