Johan Oviedo was unstoppable today.
The right-hander made his second start of the season, throwing 6.2 shutout innings with no walks, five hits, and five strikeouts. That performance, plus a Canaan Smith-Njigba triple, helped the Pirates beat the White Sox 1-0 on Sunday.
Oviedo got some protection from the Pirates offense in the bottom of the second. Smith-Njigba tripled to center with one out, and scored the lone run of the game on a sacrifice fly by Jack Suwinski.
From there, it was all Oviedo, who allowed just one hit until the fifth inning.
