Pivetta has never faced the Brewers during his rookie career, but will look to build off a promising start to the year. The righty has a 2.57 ERA in the month of July, which includes seven innings of one-hit ball against the Mets.

In his last start before the All-Star break, Pivetta allowed three earned runs in seven innings while striking out nine Padres hitters in a no-decision.
