Pivetta allowed one run on three hits over six innings Wednesday for Double-A Reading. He struck out seven and walked three.
Pivetta is now 3-2 with a 3.89 ERA and a 38:14 K:BB in 37 innings for Reading this season. He came over to the Phillies last year in the Jonathan Papelbon trade with the Nationals. He is a potential mid or back of the rotation starter if he can develop his offspeed stuff and harness his control.
