For the Pittsburgh Pirates and 17 other MLB clubs, the planning for the 2023 season officially begins.
The Pirates at least decided to go off on a high note using a four run fourth to win their final game of the season and finish 62-100.
Johan Oviedo took the mound against the St. Louis Cardinals for his second consecutive start against his former club. It didn’t start off well, with the first two hitters squaring up a couple fastballs for a quick 1-0 lead. After a strike out, Corey Dickerson line a ball to Diego Castillo at first that he couldn’t handle.
