Pivetta (1-1) took the loss Saturday, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over three innings as the Padres were bounced 7-1 by the Cubs. He struck out four.

After a dazzling 2025 debut Sunday against Atlanta, Pivetta crashed back to earth in this one, tossing 44 of 76 pitches for strikes before getting the hook. The right-hander has never been known for his consistency and has never finished a season with an ERA below 4.00, so a quick correction shouldn't have been surprising. Pivetta will take a 2.70 ERA and 8:3 K:BB through 10 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Rockies.
