Really a nice win tonight to open the home stand.
Outstanding pitching in the combined shutout. Pivetta with another gem: 7 IP, 4 hits, 1 walk, 7 Ks. Solid innings from Dominguez and Neris. I love that they didn't walk any one. Pivetta wins to go 4-2 and lowers his ERA to 3.23; Neris gets his 9th save.
Williams with the solo home run was all the offense they needed tonight, but I sure felt better after the pinch hit, two-run home run by Altherr. It probably made the relievers feel better coming in with a 3 run lead. Herrera and Williams with two hits each tonight. Hernandez went 1 for 3 with a walk and Santana also reached base twice with his two walks.
Record goes to 27-18, back to 9 over. Now a half game behind the first place Braves.
