COMMENTARY
On Wednesday, a Nick Pivetta two-hitter. On Thursday, a Trevor Story three-homer game. Hope ain’t just the state motto of Rhode Island, a reminder arriving not a moment too soon.
Were it not as sweet as an Olneyville hot weiner on its own, choose two guys who felt like they needed it more as the Sox foundered through April. Pivetta had an uninspiring spring and an ERA north of 6.00 two weeks ago. Story didn’t really have a spring and wasn’t hitting .200 as recently as Sunday.
Now, they have something to build on.
