Yesterday: Tyler Glasnow did his Charlie Morton imitation by yielding seven runs (six earned) on six hits with three walks and striking out five in 2-2/3 innings in the Pirates' 13-4 loss to the Blue Jays. Like Charlie, Glasnow got batters to hit 'em where they ain't, surrendering two infield hits, two ground ball singles and a timely boot to go with the walks. He also was tagged for a homer. Michael Feliz and Clay Holmes each served up a three-spot in their inning, with two long balls off Feliz and another off Holmes. Jordan Milbrath, Johnny Stilson and Tyler Eppler goose-egged the Jays. Pittsburgh had just five rips, with Ryan Lavarnway banging two, including a homer; J-Bell also went long.
Notes:
- Clint announced that Ivan Nova will start on Opening Day v tht Tigers and Jameson Taillon will get the call for the Pirates’ home opener v the Twins. It will be Nova's first Opening Day nod. He worked the home opener last year while Gerrit Cole had the Opening Day honors.
- Joe Musgrove should start getting stretched next week after tossing BP and a sim game this week. He thinks he'll have enough time to get ready, but it will be close - the Pirates early schedule can bypass a fifth starter until April 8th although the campaign begins on March 29th at Detroit.
- Daniel Nava is back in camp after his back surgery, although he's still several weeks removed from taking part in any baseball activities.
- Russ Martin played 3B yesterday for Toronto and went one-for-three with a home run.
