Pirates recap

Pirates 5, Orioles 2

Pirates record: 6-2

Key inning: The Pirates jumped on Wade Miley early, scoring three runs in the first inning on a two-run, error-aided infield single by David Freese and an RBI single by Kevin Newman.

Pirates big bat: Phil Gosselin went 3 for 3 and drove in a run with a single during the second inning.

Pirates starter watch: Gerrit Cole went two innings in his Grapefruit League debut, surrendering two hits and no earned runs.

What John Jaso said: “It’s a little more boring out there, man,” he said when asked about move to the outfield from first base.

What Clint Hurdle said: “This is the first step of the process. Another step involved is him acquiring a visa to get back over here, so we can’t work with the young man until he gets over here, and I don’t know when that’s going to happen,” on Jung-Ho Kang’s deferred sentence for DUI arrest
