News about Nick Pivetta

You don't want to be a part of the record books every single day. You may have been caught on a few websites for reasons due to something you did not do. At other times, you're in possession of the record books because you encouraged someone else to write their name. Take Mike Bacsik for example. Who is Mike Bacsik you may ask? Well, he was the pitcher on the Washington Nationals, who gave up a record-breaking 756th home run to Barry Bonds. After facing Aaron Judge on the verge of tying a record-tying 61st home run on Wednesday night in the Bronx, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Eric Stout was determined not to be another Mike Bacsik.

Aaron Judge brought his major league-leading 56th and 57th home runs to help the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 7-6 on Tuesday night. Judge Roger Maris, who is playing in New York's 142nd game, is four runs away from tying the American League home run record set with the Yankees in 1961. Judge had two tying solo homers off Nick Pivetta in the sixth and Garrett Whitlock in the eighth after going homerless in five games.
