Johan Oviedo brought his family from Cuba to the United States, so his start for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday was the first time his parents and sister saw him pitch as a professional. 'They came to stay forever. They've been apart from me for a long time. I want to keep them close,' Oviedo told Robby Incmikoski in an interview during the AT&T Net telecast. 'Hopefully, we can celebrate all the good things that comes.' Oviedo showed his family how much he wants to stay, too. The 25-year-old right-hander made a case for a spot in the starting rotation with three strikeouts and two hits allowed in three scoreless innings against the New York Yankees, his best start of spring training.
