PITTSBURGH — From the first pitch of Johan Oviedo’s last start, it was clear the Pirates right-hander meant business. Debuting a sinker after tinkering with it throughout spring, it didn’t take Oviedo long to show that he was intent on displaying a different version of himself.
Wednesday brought a different kind of start for Oviedo, who took a half-dozen hitters to find a groove, the poor start contributing to the Pirates’ 3-2 loss against the Rangers at PNC Park, a defeat that meant yet another series loss.
The Pirates (25-24) have not won a series since late April in Washington.
