After giving up 18 runs yesterday in a loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, the Pittsburgh Pirates have some pitching reinforcements on the way.
First, they are recalling right-hander Roansy Contreras from Triple-A Indianapolis. The 22-year-old Contreras is one of the big-name prospects in the Pirates’ system, and he’s been pitching pretty well at Indy despite just an 0-1 record.
BREAKING: #Pirates recall RHP Roansy Contreras.
In 5 games in Triple-A: 0-1, 2.66 ERA, 20.1 IP, 13 H, 6 ER, 11 BB, 24 SO, 1.
