Musgrove (1-0) got the win against the Cardinals on Friday, scattering just five hits over seven scoreless innings while striking out seven with no walks in an 8-1 victory for the Pirates.
In his first start of the season coming off the disabled list, Musgrove (shoulder) looked dominant. The most impressive aspect of this start was his efficiency, as the right-hander needed just 67 pitches -- he fired 50 of them for strikes -- to make it through seven innings. It was certainly a positive way to start off his campaign, and while his 4.52 ERA over 171.1 career innings prior to this year would seem to indicate this won't be an every-start occurrence, Musgrove would quickly find himself in the fantasy conversation if this does turn out to be a sign of things to come.
