A funny thing happened on the way to the Pittsburgh Pirates’ 12-15 May record.
In the span of nine games, RP Tyler Glasnow went from a liability at worst and a mystifying hurler at best to a bonafide major league reliever. And one of those nine games was ugly, as he was tagged for six runs over one inning of work back on May 1st.

If we remove that outing, we are left with just one earned run over 13.2 innings pitched. His .216/.259/.333 triple-slash in those eight appearances is buoyed by a 16:3 strikeout to walk ratio.
