[LoneStarPhan]

I am afraid that if they don't change pitchers now, this game will get out of hand. Pivetta has had troubles.

[Patchmk88]

It’s getting there. Personally I think they have to get him out of the rotation.

[LoneStarPhan]

I know Kapler wants to stick with his starter as long as he can, but it was clear that Pivetta had lost it even before the home run. Sadly, we are now down 3 runs.

Phillies get one run back but leave runners on second and third. I really like how this team doesn't quit. Win or lose, they keep fighting back.
