Pirates' Jake Woodford: Decent in no-decision
Woodford allowed three runs, all unearned, on two hits and struck out three without walking a batter over five innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Wednesday.
Woodford allowed 10 runs over 8.1 innings across two outings with the White Sox earlier in the season, leading to his release and eventual signing with Pittsburgh. With a 2.29 ERA over 35.1 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis, Woodford was brought up by the Pirates for at least a spot start, and he held his own despite a pair of costly errors from Oneil Cruz. Woodford hasn't had much success in any role in the majors since 2022, so it's unclear if he'll be able to improve on Wednesday's performance. Unless the Pirates move to a six-man rotation in August, Woodford would not appear assured of another start in the immediate future.
