• In his last start, Pivetta gave up three hits and zero earned runs in six innings, but he didn’t get any run support and the bullpen blew his performance, leading to an 8-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team will need another solid performance from him and some help from the offense to get the win on Saturday.
