The Red Sox handed Pivetta one of his worst starts of the season, scoring five runs against their former workhorse en route to a 10-2 win in Friday’s series opener. Boston scored four runs in the top of the fourth to seize control and Connor Wong blew the game open with a three-run double in the eighth.

For both Pivetta and a Padres offense that managed little off former Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler (6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BBs, 4 Ks) and was already in an eight-run hole when it finally scored off Boston’s bullpen in the eighth.
