It became clearer by the moment that Johan Oviedo was on his stuff in the Pirates' 1-0 win over the White Sox Sunday at PNC Park.
Not to be overshadowed too much by the fractured ankle sustained by Oneil Cruz, the Pirates' starter turned in one of his best career outings in holding the White Sox scoreless in 6.2 innings while allowing five hits, striking out five, and walking none on 89 pitches and 62 strikes.
"I mean the plan is like always give the team a chance to win, and thankfully we achieved that today and we got the win," Oviedo said.
