The Pittsburgh Pirates strong start to Grapefruit League play continued on Friday. Powered by Gerrit Cole‘s first start of the spring, the Pirates picked up a 5-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles. With the victory, the Bucs are now 6-2 in Grapefruit League play.
John Jaso made his first start in right field this spring in the victory. Additionally, Phil Gosselin made his spring debut at shortstop. Jaso is a lock to make the team looking to add to his versatility, while Gosselin is battling to make the squad and trying to flash positional flexibility to help his cause.
