Nick Pivetta Blanks Nationals Over Seven Strong Innings
Nick Pivetta tossed seven scoreless innings in his team's 1-0 win against the visiting Washington Nationals. He allowed three hits and matched a season-high with ten punchouts -- improving to 8-2 on the season. Pivetta was stellar against the team that drafted him, garnering an outstanding 39% CSW, and it was nice to see him hurl an outing sans a run after yielding four earned runs or more in three of his previous four outings. He's been solid in his first stint with the Friars, compiling a 3.36 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 101:24 K:BB ratio through 16 starts (91 innings). Pivetta's next outing will be a road date with the first-place Philadelphia Phillies early next week.
