Rivero pitched a highly effective 4 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 7 K, 0 R back on May 31st vs Delmarva. Since that time? He's pitched four separate times (1 GS). 8.53 ERA over 6 1/3 IP. 2.37 WHIP. 10 BB. 8 K. 6 HB.
To say this is an important outing underscores how every outing is important at present. He has found himself in the deep rough in 2024. As per usual, he can absolutely show those brilliant flashes, but the vast majority of his season has displayed his absolute lack of refinement of his tools. Boy, do I hope he can start taking steps. So much talent in that toolkit.
