After getting roughed up in his last start, Pirates pitcher Vance Worley rebounded to throw six solid innings during Friday's win over the Brewers.
"They were aggressive up there and I made sure I kept them more off balance," Worley said, reports the Boston Herald. "And when they started looking to hit the pitches I was throwing, I went back to what I used to do."
Over the six innings, Worley threw 93 pitches and gave up two runs and six hits. He walked four batters (two intentional) and struck out six to earn his first win of season. Worley is now 1-1 with a 5.84 ERA.
"We're all playing as hard as we can out there," Worley said. "We know it's early. Spring training was long but we've got some new guys here, we're all still learning each other and I think as the season progresses we'll only get better."
His next expected start will be Thursday against the Cubs.
