Despite the Pittsburgh Pirates suffering a 3-2 loss against the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night it was an exciting night for the Pirates and their fans. This was due to highly touted pitching prospect Roansy Contreras making his MLB debut on Wednesday night.
In his debut Contreras pitched 3 scoreless innings for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The righty allowed just 3 hits, walked a batter and struck out 4. Even though the Pirates lost the game seeing Contreras looked poised, calm, cool, and collected on the mound, all while flashing his plus, top of the rotation stuff was an exciting glimpse into the team’s future.
