Pirates pitcher Vance Worley earned his first win of the season Saturday after giving up three earned runs on five hits and one walk in 6 2/3 innings and striking out four in his team's 5-3 victory over the Cubs.
Worley (1-0) cruised through three innings before giving up a two-run home run in the fourth inning. The Cubs were able to scratch another run out in the seventh inning, but it was another solid effort for Worley after he spun seven scoreless innings in his season debut last Sunday. He owns a 1.98 ERA and 9:1 K:BB ratio in 13 2/3 innings going into Thursday's matchup with the Mets.
