Chased early by Yanks Pivetta (9-6) allowed four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out one over 1.2 innings to take the loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.

Impact This was Pivetta's shortest outing in a Boston uniform, but he did not get much help from his defense in a four-run second inning. J.D. Martinez, starting in right field, could not up with a fly ball, and Bobby Dalbec had a grounder deflect off his glove at first base. Pivetta had two consecutive strong efforts before his rude introduction to the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry. The right-hander looks to get back on track in his next start, expected to be Wednesday at home against Minnesota.

Goes six innings in win Pivetta (9-5) allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out eight in six innings to earn the win over Baltimore on Friday.

Impact The only run on Pivetta's ledger was a short third-inning homer from Richie Martin. The right-hander was otherwise excellent for the second straight start, although the quality of competition likely played a factor Friday. The 28-year-old has a 4.20 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 139:52 K:BB through 124.1 innings in 23 starts. He's projected to make a road start versus the Yankees next week.

Impact Pivetta was coming off four straight outings in which he gave up at least three runs, so this was an excellent bounce-back effort for him. He has been struggling badly in recent weeks and only has two quality starts across six appearances since the beginning of July, a span in which he's also posted a 4.09 ERA.

Another abbreviated outing Pivetta (8-5) lost Sunday's 3-2 game at the hands of the Rays, allowing three runs on three hits and a walk with six strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

Impact Pivetta was rolling to open the game, retiring the first eight Rays he faced, but walked Mike Zunino and surrendered a Brandon Lowe two-run homer immediately after to fall behind for good. He allowed two more hits and a run in the fifth before being removed with 76 pitches. The 28-year-old has now failed to reach five innings in three of his last four starts, permitting at least three runs in all four. He lines up to face Toronto next weekend.

No-decision versus Jays Pivetta allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three in 4.2 innings, taking a no-decision versus Toronto on Monday.

Impact The right-hander allowed four runs or more for the fourth time in his last five starts, and Monday was the third time in that span he's failed to complete five innings. Pivetta's inconsistency has led to a 4.51 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 120:48 K:BB through 107.2 innings this season. He lines up for a tough road start at Tampa Bay this weekend in a battle of the AL East's two best teams.

Picks up eighth win Pivetta earned the win after allowing four runs on 11 hits and two walks while striking out four across 6.2 innings Monday against the Blue Jays.

Impact Pivetta cruised through the first three innings before surrendering four runs in the fourth. Despite a rough frame, he managed to work nearly seven innings, and his offense provided plenty of run support in the 13-4 win. He's now picked up the victory in two of his last three starts, and he was able to bounce back from a loss his last time out against the Phillies when he surrendered five runs (four earned) over four innings of work.

Gives up five runs in loss Pivetta (7-4) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Phillies after allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and two walks while fanning four across four innings.

Impact Pivetta was far from his best Sunday, as he needed 76 pitches just to complete four frames and left the game with Boston down 5-1. It's worth noting he ends the first half of the season having allowed at least three earned runs in four of his last six outings.

Fans 10 in win Pivetta (7-3) fired seven scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out 10 and earning the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Impact Pivetta took care of the Athletics on Sunday, striking out a season-high 10 batters in his longest outing of the season. He did not allow any extra-base hits in the game. The 28-year-old has a 4.09 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP with a team-leading 109 strikeouts in 92.1 innings. He has been very inconsistent in his last five starts, with two scoreless performances and two appearances in which he allowed six runs. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against Philadelphia.

Hit hard Tuesday Pivetta allowed six runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings Tuesday against the Royals. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Pivetta had a brutal outing after tossing 6.2 no-hit innings last week against the Rays. He allowed a season-high nine base hits and has surrendered eight homers over his last four starts after giving up just five in his first 12 outings of the year. He was taken deep in the first, fourth and fifth innings and also allowed an RBI single in the second. Pivetta now owns a 4.43 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 99:40 K:BB over 85.1 innings. He's become very unpredictable and lines up for an unfavorable matchup against the Athletics over the weekend.
