The Atlanta Braves became the first baseball team in over half a century to use three different pitchers under the age of 21 in a single MLB season. That night at Pittsburgh`s visit, Pierre (1:0) made his debut in the Premiership by Bryse Wilson, who became the third star of the `daredevils` for 2018, who started and won a match at 20.
The previous two were Mike Soroka on May 1 against New York Mets (3:2) and Kolby Allard on July 31 against Miami Marlins (11:6). They both have reached the age of majority - August 4 and August 13, respectively, while Wilson`s 21st birthday is only December 20th. In the Braves this season title holder is yet another talent from the set `97 - the left-handed Ronald Acuna-junior, who was just picked for the National League weekly. The last team with three 20-year old starters in a pitcher rotation was Kansas City Atletico in 1965. One of those youngsters - Catfish Hunter, is now a member of the Hall of Fame, and the other two are Don Buschhorn and Ron Thompson, who leave almost no trace in the Major League. `I did not expect everything to happen so fast!', said Bryse Wilson, who was summoned by the Youth League division AAA some hours before the match, PNC Park in Pittsburgh.
Wilson (W 1-0) throws 5 innings in which he made 5 strikes and allowed only 3 chase hits and 3 hits without a point. Pitcher had the chance to record his first MLB hit, but in the 4th inning he decided to save his first-base and after a nice land hit against his colleague, Chris Archer (L 1-1) was burned with assistsfrom the right outfitter of the `pirates` Gregory Polanco. The only point in the game predicted by sport links came with RBI-single by Nick Markakis in the first inning. Five reels finished off the Atlanta shots, last climbing Dan Winkler (S 2). But with the main credit for the ded uction, however, was the central outsider, Ender Inciarte, who, with 2 holes in the 7th, caught up with the startup from the second base of the Equestrian Team with a throw of over 60 million, detected 95, 7 mph (154 km/h).
