Nick Pivetta showed again he's earned a place on the Red Sox roster

The Sox will open a seven-game homestand on Friday night closer to last place in the division than a playoff spot. On Wednesday, Nick Pivetta stood up and made his case again. Pitching on three days' rest after going three innings for a save in Kansas City on Saturday, Pivetta worked into the fifth inning, throwing 85 pitches, and keeping the Sox in the game by allowing only three runs. “I thought Nick was outstanding,” Alex Cora said.
