Jared Oliva batted third and played center field, after playing left field in the opener. He had a nice game tonight, going 2-for-5 with two singles, two runs scored, an RBI and a walk. Oliva was 1-for-4 with a double, walk and two runs scored on Wednesday.

Jason Delay didn’t play in the opener, so tonight was his AFL debut. He batted eighth and went 0-for-5 with a run scored.

Here’s Delay throwing out a runner in the first inning, with video courtesy of Jonathan Mayo. It was the only attempted stolen base against Delay tonight.

Here’s the boxscore.

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
