From Rotoworld: Pivetta limited the Braves to one run through six innings in a victory Monday. Pivetta left with a 6-1 lead, but the Phillies pen barely held on in what turned out to be a 7-6 win. It was Pivetta’s first quality start in four tries since the All-Star break, and it moved him to 4-6 with a 5.42 ERA overall. The Jeremy Hellickson trade helped his margin for error some, but Pivetta is still pretty iffy to make it through the rest of the season in the rotation.
Gray pitched well in a losing effort against the Nationals on Sunday night, allowing three runs on four hits over seven strong innings. Gray punched out eight on the night while walking just one. Unfortunately, two of the four hits left the yard in the form of home runs from Adam Lind and Brian Goodwin. Gray will carry an unsightly 5.52 ERA and 1.57 WHIP into Friday’s start against the Phillies.
