I only watched a few innings of last night’s game, wanting to get a first look at Bailey Falter. Overall, the Pirates got the best case scenario from Falter and Andre Jackson last night, with the two pitchers combining for one run in seven innings.
The Pirates previously had Rodolfo Castro and cash considerations, before making two deals since the end of June to get last night’s pitchers. After last night’s outing, Falter has a 4.87 ERA and Jackson has a 5.66 ERA this year.
Falter showed some control issues early in the game, and that’s been the case for him all year.
