Pivetta yielded four runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts in four innings, taking a no-decision versus Minnesota on Wednesday.
While it wasn't as short as his 1.2-inning appearance versus the Yankees a week ago, Pivetta still struggled to a degree Wednesday. This was just the third time all year he's allowed multiple home runs in a start, and the first time since June 29. The right-hander's ERA ticked up to 4.57 with a 1.31 WHIP and 145:57 K:BB across 130 innings in 25 starts. He lines up for a tough matchup in Tampa Bay next week.
