Pivetta (1-2) allowed three runs on six hits and three walks across five innings during Monday's win over the Braves. He struck out four.
Pivetta, who was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley to make his first start since mid-May, fired three scoreless innings to begin the game. An infield hit and a walk proceeded a two-run double from Carlos Camargo in the fourth, with the hosts manufacturing another run in the next frame, after which the rookie's night came to a close. Despite the multitude of baserunners, Pivetta mitigated the damage for the most part and was handed his first career victory thanks to a big night from the offense. While he carries an uninspiring 5.18 ERA and a 25:12 K:BB through 24.1 innings at the big-league level this season, Pivetta is scheduled to face the Cardinals on Saturday, looking to build on this win.
