Well, the Pirates have at least one capable closer visibly set for St. Louis.
Sunday marked Day 10 of summer camp at PNC Park, and Kyle Crick climbed a mound for the first time, pitching in relief of Derek Holland in a simulated game. He faced three batters, walking Erik Gonzalez, giving up an RBI double to deep right-center by Adam Frazier, then striking out Josh Bell.
Which clearly didn't matter at all to Derek Shelton when compared to simply seeing Crick.
"It was good to see him back," Shelton said afterward, confirming that it was, in fact, Crick's first appearance in action.
