Reese Olson allowed 6 runs on 9 hits in 4.1 innings with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts. 89 pitches, 53 strikes. Some tough luck early, but also 9 balls with 100+ mph exit velos, 6 at 103+. Fastball/changeup hit hard, but also struggled with consistency on slider. Spin varied wildly. https://t.co/8DxW2wZUIs
It ended up being a 31-pitch, three-run second inning for Olson. Could've been worse. Riley Greene got a great jump on a slicing liner toward the corner in left for the third out, stranding runners at second and third. https://t.co/nT51bnKyjv
Reynolds lines out to left to end the frame. 3-1 Pirates as we head to the third.
Tougher sledding here for Reese Olson in the second. Lost his FB command for a couple batters, walk and single put him in the soup. One run in, a couple of infield hits and the Pirates have the bases loaded with one out. Mound visit
