Kyle McPherson gives up four runs to Astros
Kyle McPherson - R - Pittsburgh Pirates
March 3, 2013 - 4:55 PM ET

Kyle McPherson gave up four runs in 2 2/3 innings Sunday in his start against the Astros.

The door is ajar for McPherson this spring with Charlie Morton (definitely), Francisco Liriano (probably) and Jeff Karstens (maybe) all potentially absent from the season-opening rotation. Today's showing will sting, though, particularly since he walked three batters.
