Nick Kingham just finished six innings in his major league debut for the Pirates. He retired all 18 Cardinals batters he faced, striking out eight. He threw just 79 pitches, 60 for strikes. I don’t know how long this will last, or how the Pirates will let Kingham stay in the game, but it’s already one of the more impressive debuts.
Kingham is old for a true rookie, seasonal age 26, but he posted good career three-true outcomes and a low ratio of hits/inning in the minors.
There’s no score as the Pirates bat in the sixth.
