Matched up against Cy Young candidate and 5-time all-star Chris Sale, Victoria product and Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Nick Pivetta went pitch-for-pitch with the Boston Red Sox ace, and won.

Pivetta went seven innings, striking out a career-high nine batters while allowing just four hits and two walks en route to a 1-0 Phillies win over the daunting Boston Red Sox. Philadelphia sports writers called it the best pitching performance by a Phillie all season. With the breakout performance, Pivetta looks to use this outing and build on it, to cement his spot in the major league rotation.
