Final Thoughts
Nick Pivetta has been on a pretty good roll lately. Pivetta had a rough start his last time around, but the previous two before that were strong.
The young pitcher shook off the bad outing and got right back on track with his strong showing today. Its encouraging to see someone step up a bit and show signs of development and progress on this terrible team.
