Kuhl’s the rule; Pirates name Chad Kuhl opening day starter
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Chad Kuhl will be the opening day starter for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The assignment comes more than two years after the right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery. Kuhl did not pitch at all in 2019. He returned in 2020 and went 2-3 with a 4.27 ERA in 11 games. The 28-year-old called the assignment a blessing. Kuhl is the fifth opening day starter for the Pirates in the last five years.
