Nick Pivetta Gets Hit Hard In Friday's Loss
7 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Nick Pivetta got blasted for five hits, three walks and six earned runs in just one inning of action on Friday. Pivetta began the second inning on the mound, but was unable to record an out before departing. The long ball hurt the young right-hander, as Bryce Harper took him deep twice -- first to begin the game and again in the second inning. Pivetta had a promising start to his 2018 campaign, but two straight bad starts have brought the 25-year-old's ERA to a pedestrian 4.76. Pivetta has looked good in some previous starts, so he has some streaming appeal in good matchups, but he is not someone who can really be counted on going forward.
