FACTS/FLUKES: Pivetta, McCormick, Maeda, Rengifo, T. May

Pivetta is reeling us back in as a reliever ... In 88.1 innings, Nick Pivetta (RHP, BOS) rocks a 4.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 30.1% K%, and 9.3% BB%. The Red Sox used Pivetta in relief in June and July, translating to a 1.71 ERA, 0.82 WHIP, 40% K%, and 12.5% BB%. That's before a dominant start without an opener where he threw seven innings with 10 strikeouts on July 30. Can Pivetta be a consistent option in the new role? What do Pivetta's skills indicate?
