Pittsburgh Pirates Overcome Early Deficit to Blowout Nationals
Daniel Vogelbach, Bryan Reynolds, Kevin Newman, Roberto Perez and Ke’Bryan Hayes drove in runs for the Pirates. Roansy Contreras pitched 3 scoreless innings for Pirates and struck out 5. The second game of the four-game series is scheduled for 6:35 PM ET on Friday night. Mitch Keller (9.00 ERA, 5) is the starting pitcher for Washington. He has a 9.0 ERA. His curveball looked wicked. Contrras is a pitching prospect in the Pirate farm system. If he is going to be in their starting rotation, he should be included.
