Jonathon Niese has mixed bag in first outing as Pirate
by Daniel Marcus | Wed, Apr 6th 12:39am EDT
Niese pitched five innings and surrendered five hits, one walk, and four earned runs on Tuesday against the Cardinals. He also struck out seven batters.
Fantasy Impact:
This was not the expected performance from Niese as he is not known as a strikeout pitcher. The Pirates played some shaky defense behind him that cost him a few runs, but based on this performance there is no need to rush to add Niese to your roster at the moment.
