Analysis:

The lefty continues to bring the heat, averaging 95.1 mph with his fastball. Wilson has actually lowered the use of his fastball from 63.3 to 53.9 percent. He's also increased the use of his cutter, going from 11.6 percent to 18.2. The increased use of the latter (89.3 mph average) gives Wilson three different pitch speeds, instead of his customary two, including the fastball and curve (78.5 mph). Pittsburgh used him for two innings Thursday, marking the first time in 2014 that he pitched for more than one inning.
