Picks up win as primary pitcher Bido (2-1) allowed four hits and a walk while striking out three over three scoreless innings, earning the win Saturday over the Angels.

Impact Bido needed 56 pitches (35 strikes) to cover three frames, but he was part of a five-pitcher shutout. The right-hander had struggled in his last outing, surrendering three runs over 2.2 innings against the Giants last Sunday. His pitch count has been trending down in July, which suggests he could see more work behind an opener if he remains in the majors. Bido has a 4.50 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 28:13 K:BB through 30 innings over eight appearances (six starts). He's lined up to make his next outing at home versus the Phillies if he continues to occupy a rotation spot.

Early exit in no-decision Bido did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over 2.2 innings against the Giants. He struck out three.

Impact Bido's final line could have been worse as he needed 64 pitches to record just eight outs, leaving the game after surrendering three runs in the third inning. The rookie right-hander is 1-1 this season with a 5.00 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 27 innings. Bido's next start is currently lined up for next weekend against the Angels, though his spot in the rotation could be in jeopardy with top-prospect Quinn Priester scheduled to make his debut with the Pirates on Monday.

Takes another no-decision Bido allowed two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Impact Bido left the game with the Pirates ahead, but he wouldn't have qualified for the win after a second straight short start. The four walks were a season high for the right-hander, who needed 81 pitches (46 strikes) to complete four frames. He's now at a 4.70 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB over 23 innings through five starts. Bido's grip on a rotation spot is tenuous, so it's not guarantee he'll be starting for the Pirates following the All-Star break.

Early exit in no-decision Bido didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 8-7 win over the Brewers, giving up four runs on four hits and a walk over 3.1 innings. He failed to strike out a batter.

Impact The 27-year-old rookie had had shortest outing since joining the rotation in the middle of June, tossing 45 of 73 pitches for strikes before leaving the game with the Bucs down 4-3, but some late-inning heroics got Bido off the hook for his second loss. Through his first four big-league outings, he carries a 4.74 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB in 19 innings, but unless Roansy Contreras gets stretched back out, Pittsburgh doesn't seem to have any better options for its fifth starter spot. Bido lines up for one more start before the All-Star break -- a tough road matchup against the Dodgers.

Just misses quality start Bido allowed two runs on nine hits and struck out five batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Saturday.

Impact Bido and Bryan Hoeing engaged in a scoreless pitchers' duel through four innings until the former surrendered a two-run homer to Luis Arraez in the fifth. Bido bounced back from the long ball to retire five more batters before he was lifted with two outs and two on in the sixth. The right-hander has been solid through three major-league outings, allowing six runs and posting an 18:5 K:BB over 15.2 frames. Bido appears to have a steady spot in the rotation and could hold onto it for the foreseeable future if he continues to pitch effectively.

Fans seven in loss Bido (0-1) yielded three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings Monday, striking out seven and taking a loss against the Cubs.

Impact The Cubs tagged Bido with three runs in the second inning of what was otherwise a strong start. He was handed his first career loss as the Pirates were shut out by Drew Smyly and the Cubs. Bido has compiled a 13:5 K:BB across 10 frames in his first two MLB starts. The right-handed rookie is currently scheduled to take the mound in Miami this weekend.

Receiving another start Bido is scheduled to start Monday's series opener versus the Cubs at PNC Park.

Impact Bido will make a second straight turn through the rotation after he delivered serviceable numbers in his MLB debut last Wednesday against this same Cubs team at Wrigley Field. Though he was lifted after just four innings, Bido struck out six and gave up one earned run on four hits and three walks. Bido's numbers over a larger sample of 55.1 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis this season (4.55 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 56:26 K:BB) don't paint a rosy picture for his outlook with the big club moving forward, but so long as he could avoid any major blowups, he should have a lock on a rotation spot with the struggling Roansy Contreras unlikely to return to a starting role in the short term.

Decent in MLB debut Bido did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing a run on four hits and three walks over 4 innings against the Cubs. He struck out six.

Impact After allowing a run in the first inning, Bido settled down to deliver three scoreless innings, allowing just one more hit. The 27-year-old Bido posted a pedestrian 4.55 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP through 55.1 innings in Triple-A this season, though his 56 strikeouts offer some intrigue. Brito will likely get at least one more start after the Pirates shifted Roansy Contreras to the bullpen, tentatively lined up as a rematch with the Cubs next week.

Called up ahead of MLB debut The Pirates selected Mido's contract from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday against the Cubs, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bido will be making his MLB debut Wednesday and could secure a more permanent spot in the Pittsburgh rotation with a strong showing, as the Pirates are currently in search of a fifth starter with the struggling Roansy Contreras having moved to the bullpen. Though he's struck out a batter per inning over his 12 appearances (10 starts) at Indianapolis this season, the 27-year-old Bido's 4.55 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 10.9 percent walk rate don't inspire as much confidence about his ability to find immediate success in the majors.

Starting Wednesday vs. Cubs Bido will start Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Justice delos Santos of MLB.com reports.

Impact Bido will make his MLB debut Wednesday in his start versus the Cubs. The 27-year-old has registered a 4.55 ERA in 55.1 innings over 12 appearances with Triple-A Indianapolis -- 10 of those appearances starts -- with a 56:26 K:BB and 1.30 WHIP. Even against a mediocre Chicago lineup, it would be extremely risky to stream Bido on Wednesday, and the risk doesn't seem to outweigh the reward.
