BOSTON — Nick Pivetta combined with two relievers for a one-hit shutout, and Rafael Devers hit two homers and drove in three runs Wednesday as the Boston Red Sox beat the Atlanta Braves, 9-0.

Pivetta (3-4) worked seven innings and allowed Atlanta’s only hit — a leadoff single by Austin Riley in the fourth inning. He struck out nine and finished one strikeout shy of his season high, March 29 against the Seattle Mariners.

“I wouldn’t say I felt great, to be honest with you,” Pivetta said. “But yeah, it was a good outing. I think throughout the game the guys were on the bats, gave me a lot of runs, so I was able to just kind of attack the strike zone, get ahead of guys, allow themselves to get each other out. It was a good team win today.”

Devers hit a solo home run in the second inning and a two-run shot in the seventh for the 17th multi-homer game of his career and first since July 14, 2023, against the Chicago Cubs. He has 13 homers this season.

“Now he’s locked in,” Red Sox Manager Alex Cora said of Devers. “Staying on fastballs, using the whole field, not chasing pitches, hitting the ball the other way, that’s being locked in. Now he’s very dangerous.”

Jarren Duran hit a solo homer in the eighth inning, his fourth of the season. Duran, Rob Refsnyder, Tyler O’Neill and Dominic Smith each had two hits as Boston improved to 31-31 with its fifth win in 12 games.

Jamie Westbrook, a 28-year-old rookie who spent 11 years in the minors, recorded his first hit in the majors when he singled while pinch hitting in the eighth inning.

Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach (0-2) allowed six runs on seven hits with two walks (one intentional) over 4 2/3 innings in his second career start.

“Lot of strikes, kid is learning,” Braves Manager Brian Snitker said. “He doesn’t have a lot to fall back on yet, but the stuff was good. He threw a lot of strikes. Got hurt with some two-strike, probably got too much of the plate. But he competes really well. Stuff is good and there’s a lot of upside there.”

Boston jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the second inning. Devers led off with a homer. O’Neill singled and Dominic Smith walked before David Hamilton’s double scored O’Neill. Hamilton scored on a sacrifice fly by Reese McGuire.

“After a tough second, I felt like I did a good job of coming back out and throwing strikes in the third and fourth,” Schwellenbach said. “For me, getting on top and throwing strikes and getting to two strikes, I just wasn’t able to finish.”

The Red Sox added three runs in the fifth. Duran, who entered the game leading MLB in triples, hit his ninth of the season and scored on Enmanuel Valdez’s double. After a two-out intentional walk to Devers, O’Neill doubled, scoring Devers and chasing Schwellenbach. Ray Kerr entered and gave up an RBI double to Smith.

Devers’ two-run shot in the seventh scored Refsnyder, who opened the inning with a double. Duran added a homer in the eighth off right-hander Jimmy Herget.

Zack Kelly worked the eighth and finished with two strikeouts. Brad Keller pitched the ninth.

THE RED SOX placed right-hander Chris Martin on the 15-day injury list  because of anxiety.

Martin, 38, told the team about his anxiety over the weekend.

The move was retroactive to Sunday. Martin last pitched May 30 against Detroit, giving up four hits, including two home runs, and three earned runs in an inning. He has a 4.22 ERA in 21 appearances this season.

“With being respectful of the situation, he felt like it was manifesting in some physical ways that were keeping him from competing at the level that he’s used to in terms of fatigue and energy and recovery and sleep and some of those types of things,” Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said.

Breslow believes the time on the IL will help Martin return at full health.

“We’ll make sure that it’s sufficient,” he said. “I think a couple of things that are important to get across, I think that we should applaud Chris’ willingness to speak up and confront this challenge head on. As an organization, we fully support that and have a bunch of resources here including the mental health program that’s intended to help players and staff address situations like this.”

A former major league pitcher, Breslow said the leagues and teams across sports have done a good job of destigmatizing these situations.

“I do think that teams now are exhausting resources on building mental health and behavioral health programs that are maybe a little bit different than the traditional mental skills sports psychology domains that teams spent time with in the past,” he said. “Mental health is a really, really important piece of not just athlete well-being but people well-being. It’s critical.”

Breslow said the demands of a baseball season — the demands of a season in any sport, really — can be overwhelming and it’s important for everyone to have the needed resources.

Martin has a 3.42 ERA in 345 career games spanning 11 years with Colorado, the New York Yankees, Texas, Atlanta, the Chicago Cubs, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Red Sox. He spent the last two seasons with Boston.

To fill Martin’s spot on the roster, the Red Sox recalled right-hander Zack Kelly from Triple-A Worcester.
