From Rotoworld: Foltynewicz allowed two earned runs, five hits and three walks with nine strikeouts over six innings in a win Tuesday at Arizona. The Braves are a perfect 9-0 over his past nine starts, and he is 6-0 with a 3.00 ERA over his past 10 outings since the starts of June. His last loss came May 27 in San Francisco, and since then he has managed seven quality starts. He’ll take his next turn in the rotation Monday afternoon in Philadelphia.
Pivetta struck out seven but also allowed five runs over six frames Tuesday versus the Astros. The Astros tallied six hits and a walk against the rookie right-hander. It was the sixth inning that did him in, as Pivetta permitted five of his six hits and four of his five runs in the frame. Pivetta will go up against the Braves the next time he toes the rubber.
