Pivetta allowed one run on four hits and three walks across six innings in a no-decision Friday against the Marlins. He struck out six.
Pivetta got off to a shaky start in this one, loading the bases with nobody out in the first inning and allowing the opening run on his second wild pitch of the frame. He settled down to great effect thereafter and allowed just two men past first base the rest of the way. The rookie went all of August without delivering a quality start, so this outing could help get him back on track after a substandard month. Pivetta is next slated to take the ball Wednesday against the Mets.
