Nick Pivetta’s performance in latest Red Sox win: The Red Sox moved to eight games above .500 for the first time in 2024 with a 6-5 win over the Marlins on Thursday.
While the game ended up being a much more dramatic affair — requiring 12 innings before the Red Sox finally clinched the win — the tone was set early by starter Nick Pivetta.
Pivetta, 31, put together 6.2 no-hit innings before Miami finally broke through. He finished his night with seven scoreless innings (yielding just one hit and two walks), striking out 10 in the process.
“Pivetta was outstanding today,” said Marlins manager Skip Schumaker. “He gave us a lot of trouble.”
