PITTSBURGH — After a pair of inconsistent starts after being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Luis Ortiz had it working against one of the best lineups in baseball.

Ortiz was brilliant across 7.2 innings as the Pirates were able to defeat the Texas Rangers 6-4 at PNC Park on Monday night.

Ortiz was the pitcher of record in the team’s win, giving him the first victory in his big-league career.
