Pirates pitcher Jeanmar Gomez (1-0) hurled 1 2/3 innings of relief to record the win in Pittsburgh's 5-3 victory over Arizona Monday night. Gomez, making his first appearance since being hit in the chest by a line drive last Friday, replaced starter Wandy Rodriguez after he departed in the third inning with hamstring tightness.
The right-hander permitted one run and four hits while walking one batter and striking out none. He is now sporting a 1.93 ERA after two games this season.
