Nick Pivetta (7-4) tossed his first nine-inning complete-game shutout on Friday night as the Reading Fightin Phils (49-19) beat the Harrisburg Senators (35-31) 4-0. Reading has now won 11-straight games and 16 out of their last 17 games.

Reading jumped out to a 4-0 lead over the Senators in the top of the second. Pivetta, Jesmuel Valentin and Angelo Mora all hit RBI singles against Senators starter Phillips Valdez. Valentin's single was a two-RBI hit.

Pivetta tosses the first nine-inning complete game shutout by one pitcher since David Buchanon did it against Harrisburg on May 28, 2012 in Harrisburg. Reading last had an 11-game winning streak in 1976. They did win 11 games in 1987 when they turned in a 12-game winning streak.

Senators starter Phillips Valdez (0-1) allowed four runs off six hits and one walk with six strikeouts in six innings on Friday. John Simms pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the Senators. Koda Glover tossed a scoreless inning in relief for Harrisburg.
