Marinez returns to solid form in Pirates' 'pen

MILWAUKEE -- It's been a little more than a month since Jhan Marinez was claimed off waivers by the Pirates, but the former Brewers reliever looks right at home in black and gold.

Marinez threw two scoreless innings in relief of starter Gerrit Cole in the Pirates' 8-1 victory on Monday at Miller Park. He faced a number of former teammates and got his good friend, Brewers outfielder Domingo Santana, to ground out to end the eighth inning.

"It feels pretty good being back [at Miller Park]. I have a couple friends here and it feels pretty comfortable, but it's a little different being on the other side," Marinez said.
