Despite injury to Oneil Cruz, Pirates secure series win against White Sox 1-0

The Pittsburgh Pirates improved to 6-3 on the season after defeating the Chicago White Sox 1-0 on Easter Sunday, securing the club’s second series win of the year.

Johan Oviedo pitched superbly on the mound for Pittsburgh in the win, going six and two-thirds innings, allowing five hits while picking up five strikeouts and, most importantly, keeping Chicago out of the run column. The win belongs to Oviedo, his first of the season.
