PHOENIX (AP) — Add Nick Pivetta’s Tuesday night performance to the long list of quality outings by Philadelphia starters this season.
He threw six scoreless innings, Nick Williams homered and the Phillies bounced back from their marathon loss the previous night to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-2.
Pivetta (7-9) scattered five hits, struck out six and walked one to get his first win in four starts.
“The guys really picked me up on defense,” he said, “and we scored runs when we really needed them. I think the team really pulled together and made this happen today.
