The Pittsburgh Pirates got some outstanding pitching yesterday around their farm system. As noted in the Prospect Watch title last night, Taylor Hearn, Eduardo Vera and Nick Kingham put together a nice overall line. Each went six innings, allowing a total of four runs between them. They weren't even close to the best pitchers yesterday. Evan Piechota was forced into the Power game after an injury to starter Sergio Cubilete and he faced the minimum over six innings, striking out seven batters.
