Nick Pivetta's efforts not enough in tight loss

Nick Pivetta took the mound Saturday, enduring a tough loss as the Red Sox fell 2-1 to the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact:
He allowed two earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings. Despite a solid performance that might have led to a win on another day, Pivetta's season continues to be a mixed bag. His ERA now sits at 4.53 with a commendable 1.13 WHIP and an impressive 10.8 K/9, indicating he can rack up strikeouts but is often let down by run support or an occasional big inning. Fantasy managers should view him as a potential strikeout asset, but his win potential seems capped by the team's performance and his inconsistency in run prevention.
