Pivetta allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out three in five innings during Tuesday's loss to the Astros in Game 4 of the ALCS. He didn't factor into the decision.
Pivetta was effective in his first postseason start, with his only blemish coming via a solo home run in the top of the first inning. The right-hander threw 65 pitches (36 strikes) while allowing just four baserunners, but he was forced to settle for a no-decision since the Astros put together a late comeback. Across his first three playoff appearances, Pivetta has posted a 2.63 ERA and 1.02 WHIP in 13.2 innings.
