The Pirates got a superb start from Johan Oviedo in St. Louis, but the offense, defense and bullpen all let him down. The result was a 3-0 loss to the Cards.
Oviedo went seven innings on 93 pitches. He fanned a career-high ten, walked one and allowed six hits. The high point in his outing came in the fourth, when the Cards put runners on the corners with nobody out. Oviedo fanned Nolan Gorman and Willson Contreras, then got Nolan Arenado on an easy fly.
Oviedo kept St. Louis off the board until the sixth. Even then, he should have escaped.
