PHILADELPHIA - Phillies right-hander Nick Pivetta could not catch a break, even hours after he threw his final pitch on Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park.
Pivetta answered questions from reporters with a case of the hiccups. Of course, he dealt with worse in a 7-2 loss to the Rockies, which snapped the Phillies' modest winning streak at two games. Pivetta allowed six runs in five innings. He retired seven consecutive batters at one point, striking out five in a row, but then he allowed five runs before recording an out in the fourth inning.
"Yeah, I definitely need to lock it back in here," Pivetta said.
