The Pittsburgh Pirates took on the Houston Astros in their final exhibition games of the preseason. The Buccos ended on a high note and took home a victory from Houston by a score of 5-1. The Pittsburgh Pirates played a game that should look very similar to how they play this year, good pitching and enough offense.
The most impressive part of the game was Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitching prospect, Eduardo Vera. Vera came in relief after veterans Brandon Maurer and Tyler Lyons pitched. The two veterans threw a scoreless inning each.
