Final Thoughts
Nick Pivetta was able to build on his solid outing from last weekend to deliver another quality start. Not a lot of things have been going right for the young pitcher at this point.
The team might want to give Nick Williams a day off or two. The rookie has been struggling heavily for a couple weeks now, and his average is set to drop below .270.
