Nick Pivetta’s Six Scoreless Innings Enough For Win
6 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies starter Nick Pivetta continued the fine form of his rotation Tuesday night, putting forth a winning performance in Arizona against the Diamondbacks. A day after Jake Arrieta’s terrific outing went for naught, Pivetta went six scoreless, allowing just five hits and a walk while striking out six. This continues a bounce-back month of August for the 25-year-old, who endured a rough July, but now has two runs across 12 innings in two starts this month. His season record improved to 7-9, as the Phillies gained a game on the Atlanta Braves in the NL East standings.
