Pivetta blanks Braves in NL East showdown
(MLB.com Philadelphia Phillies)

In the series opener between two upstart NL East teams, Nick Pivetta was brilliant, blanking the Braves in 7 innings, with 7 strikeouts against 1 walk. He was backed by some great defense -- particularly from Jorge Alfaro -- and homers from Nick Williams and Aaron Altherr. Mike Foltynewicz (6 IP, 1 ER) limited the Phillies, but Atlanta couldn`t get anything going at the plate.
