The San Diego Padres lost on Sunday without Jackson Merrill in the lineup while Fernando Tatis Jr. admitted to being fatigued this season.

Pivetta struck out a season-high 10 batters over seven shutout innings to beat the Rockies last month at Petco Park, but he has an 18.90 ERA in three starts (10 IP) in his career at Coors Field, including seven earned runs in 2⅔ innings last year. He has a 1.42 ERA in four starts this year at Petco Park and a 3.00 ERA in three road starts.

Despite his lengthy injury absence, All-Star Jackson Merrill is already producing again for the San Diego Padres
