24-year-old Pirates prospect Trevor Williams was called up to the bigs on Tuesday and the next day, the right-hander recorded his very first MLB win. He pitched three innings, allowed one unearned run, and struck out three in the 4-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
Williams, who was selected by the Marlins in the 2012 MLB Draft, shared an emotional embrace with his wife Jackie, 11-month-old son Isaac, and father, Richard.
His dad was beaming with pride.
