“Padres Poised to Pilfer Victory with Pivetta’s Pitching Predicament”
The Padres are one of the best teams in baseball and frankly after years of trying to be just that, they seem to have found their groove. It is always a challenge to understand why a baseball team with talent is failing. Is it chemistry issues, management, or something else? In the case of San Diego, they always had talent and resources, but until last year, it didn’t really all come together. Now they are 16-7, but have a losing road record. The offense has been good, pitching has been solid, but they will need to figure out winning on the road if they want sustained long-term success. To give them a chance at a road victory tonight is Nick Pivetta. He has been brilliant to start the season with a 3-1 record, 1.57 ERA, and a 0.83 WHIP. Pivetta was always fine with the Red Sox, but nothing spectacular. He has three quality starts for the year, and his lone loss he lasted just three innings and allowed three runs. It was, of course, his only road start this year. He has been fine against the Tigers in the past, holding them to a .250 batting average.ÂÂ
