Johan Oviedo pitches well in long-relief role on Sunday
by Lucas Spence | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Apr 11th 6:28pm EDT
Johan Oviedo took over for an ineffective Daniel Ponce de Leon on Sunday and pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings while scattering two hits and two walks to go with four strikeouts.
Fantasy Impact:
The Brewers had a 7-1 lead in the second inning, chasing the Cardinals starter Ponce de Leon in the process. The 23-year-old Oviedo came in, after just being recalled by the team on Sunday, and got the chance immediately to prove his value to the team. The right-hander made five starts for the team in 2020 (5.47 ERA) and will likely work in a relief role for the time being with a chance to make some starts down the line if he continues to pitch as well as he did Sunday.
