Pivetta (5-10) got slammed for six runs on 10 hits over five innings in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Mets. He struck out five without a walk.
This game was shortened to less than six full innings by rain, but Pivetta was gone before it ended anyway. The rookie right-hander is averaging more than a strikeout per inning, but he's also averaging a homer per start while walking way too many batters. Pivetta's high velocity and promising minor-league resume provide him with long-term fantasy value, but he's been far too unsteady to trust down the stretch this season.
