PITTSBURGH -- One week into the season, Tyler Glasnow has taken well to a relief role. He likes the quick warmup, the aggressive approach and the competitive mindset that are all necessary to pitching out of the bullpen.
The results haven't been too bad, either. Glasnow struck out five and allowed one run in three innings to finish the Pirates' frigid 7-3 loss to the Twins on Wednesday night at PNC Park. It was the only run he's allowed in five innings over two relief appearances this season; he's allowed only three hits, but walked four while striking out seven.
