The schedule-makers, bless them, did not coordinate the start of the Sox’s first Wednesday game of the year with my kids’s school dismissals, so I crept in for the top of the third having missed, it appeared, not so much. Going for the sweep, Hall of Famer Nick Pivetta had given up one hit through two innings, as had Ross Stripling, his counterpart for Oakland. We love journeyman success stories, don’t we folks?
Nick Pivetta is through 2 scoreless.
Worked around a single in the first and a walk in the second.pic.
