Glasnow allowed two earned runs on five hits and one walk in three innings Sunday. He struck out three batters.
Pitching for the first time since Sept. 1 -- when he started a game for Triple-A Indianapolis -- a rusty Glasnow entered the game in relief with Pittsburgh already down by six runs. He made it through three innings before failing to retire any of three batters in his fourth. The rookie's average fastball velocity (92.4 mph) was the lowest of his three outings, but his curveball was effective. He threw 35 of 58 pitches for strikes in his first major league action since July 23.
