The Pirates continue to make changes to their bullpen.<\/p>\n
The team announced Friday that left-handed pitcher Hunter Barco is going back to Triple-A Indianapolis after going three innings in Cincinnati Thursday evening.<\/p>\n
He gave up two runs on five hits against the Reds, with three walks during the relief outing.<\/p>\n
Antwone Kelly from Triple-A has been recalled to take Barco\u2019s spot on the roster.<\/p>\n
Kelly has appeared in 19 games with 13 starts in Indianapolis this season. He\u2019s gone 5-5 with an ERA of 4.29 over 77.2 innings pitched.<\/p>\n
He hasn\u2019t allowed a run in 15 innings over his last three outings, including one start, with the Indians in July.<\/p>\n
With Barco pitching in an extended relief role Thursday, he won\u2019t be available for several days.<\/p>\n
The move gives the Pirates an opportunity to bring an available arm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Pirates continue to make changes to their bullpen.
