Justin Wilson fans five in relief
Justin Wilson - R - Pittsburgh Pirates
March 16, 2013 - 4:45 PM ET

Justin Wilson pitched three scoreless innings and struck out five Saturday in relief against the Twins.

The Pirates expressed their intention to use Wilson as a starter this spring back in December, only to retreat from the statement later. Maybe they're thinking about it again now after having him throw three innings today; he had thrown a total of seven innings in his previous five appearances this spring. Still, the smart money says that he'll be in the pen.
