Johan Oviedo yielded two runs in 5 2/3 innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Orioles.

Oviedo allowed single runs in the first two innings, but the kept the Orioles quiet the rest of the way. He’s 2-0 with a 2.19 ERA in five starts since moving into the rotation last month. The Pirates have to be feeling pretty good about their starting pitching depth going into 2026. It’s just a matter of whether they’ll use any of it to try to improve their anemic offense. Oviedo will face the Cubs next week.
