Pirates' Jose Osuna: Gets first knock Friday

Osuna collected his first major-league hit -- a triple -- Friday against the Yankees.

Analysis:

He celebrated his first start in the majors with a line drive that lodged itself under the padding on the fence. The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder nearly collided with center fielder Andrew McCutchen while chasing a flyball, but the natural first baseman's best chance of playing time is in right field. He's not in the starting lineup Saturday, but is available off the bench.
