ST. LOUIS -- Hard-throwing pitching prospect Tyler Glasnow will make his major league debut for the Pittsburgh Pirates against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night.The 6-foot-8 right-hander has a 1.78 ERA in 96 innings at Triple-A Indianapolis and runs his fastball up to 99 mph. He was a fifth-round pick in 2011 and has ranked among the Pirates top prospects since breaking out in Class A in 2013.The team announced the move Wednesday and Glasnow was already in St. Louis. While hed been anticipating the call-up, it took a while before the news sank in with his father, who will be at his debut.My dad answered (the phone) and I told him, Glasnow said. And it didnt register right away with him. He was saying, `Yeah, I was just wondering when you are going up. I said, `I just told you, and he was like, `Oh my God!The 22-year-old Glasnow will be the second Pittsburgh starter to make his debut in three days after left-hander Steven Brault got a no-decision Tuesday against the Cardinals.The rotation spots opened in part because Jameson Taillon -- another prized pitching prospect who debuted this season -- went on the disabled list Sunday with right shoulder fatigue.Glasnow became a hyped prospect when his velocity jumped into the upper 90s, but the Pirates are excited by the way hes developed his entire repertoire in the minors, including a promising curveball.Its a downhill angle, manager Clint Hurdle said. Its firm. Its hard. The curveball plays. The changeup hell use aggressively as well. Hes shown the ability to throw those secondary pitches in offensive counts.Glasnow was particularly dominant in June. He strung together 13 consecutive hitless innings during two starts on June 17 and June 22, and he hasnt allowed more than two earned runs in a game at Triple-A since May 12. He leads the International League with 113 strikeouts and allowed few hard-hit balls, ranking fourth by allowing 0.38 home runs per nine innings.The later starts we figured out it was kind of dont go out and try to throw so many strikes, Glasnow said. I got into that and got out of my athleticism and started to try and dot up the zone. With me ... the more aggressive I am, the better I am in the strikes zone.The Californian will have plenty of friends and family at the park Thursday, including his parents, brother and cousins.Hes put together a very good volume of work in Triple-A, Hurdle said. Hes continued to grow, understand the skill set that he has and what he needs to do to be successful.Air Max 97 Clearance . Catch all the action on TSN2 at 11pm et/8pm pt.

I dont know anything else. We felt like we could have put him back in the game. Well go back and evaluate him again, coach Gary Kubiak sad.I liked the way Paxton was handling the team so we stuck with him, Kubiak added. I thought he handled himself well and made some big third downs for us. I really liked the way he avoided some bad plays.Siemian staked the Broncos to a 14-7 lead, turning a pair of interceptions by ex-Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib into TDs that got Denver rolling toward its NFL-best ninth consecutive victory.Denver (4-0) is unbeaten through four games for the second straight season and third time in four years.Theres so many things we could improve upon as a team, Kubiak said. Thats what Im excited about. Weve got some injuries we have to work through. But we keep stepping to the plate, playing hard, playing well.Lynch, who starred at Memphis after playing high school ball in nearby Deltona, Florida, felt fortunate to be able to do his part.It was definitely exciting to come back here and have a lot of family and friends here to see it happen, Lynch said. Im glad that they were here for it and Im also glad I got the opportunity. But to come in in that kind of circumstance, Trevor gets hurt, you never want that to happen.Kubiak and Siemian both thought the starter could have returned to the game if needed. Theyre also hopeful Siemian will be able to play next week at home against Atlanta.I think Im just going to take it one day at a time. But thats the plan, to be ready, Siemian said.I know Trevor is a tough guy, Lynch offered, and hell be ready to play.Tampa Bay (1-3) has lost three straight. Jameis Winston threw for a season-low 179 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptiions for the Bucs, who also fumbled once in the first half.ddddddddddddHes not regressing. You cant turn the ball over three times in a half. ... Youre not going to win games that way, Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter said.WEATHER DELAYFor the second straight week, play was suspended during the fourth quarter at Raymond James Stadium because of lightning. The Broncos and Bucs finished after a 1 hour, 26-minute delay, up from 69 minutes the previous week, when the Rams and Bucs also had to wait out a severe thunderstorm that also sent fans scurrying for cover.SACK ATTACKThe Broncos sacked Winston five times and also recorded 16 quarterback hits. DE Derek Wolfe had 2 + sacks and five hits. Was teasing with him in the locker room, Kubiak said. You waited an hour and a half to go back out there and get one more sack? He had a sack at the end of the game. Im proud of all our guys. LB Von Miller was credited with half a sack and has 5+ for the season.TURNOVER TIMEDenver has won 26 straight games when winning the turnover battle, the NFLs longest active streak. The Broncos forced three Sunday while not losing one. The run is the longest in team history. Those defensive guys help you out a lot, Lynch said. It feels good to have a defense like that playing behind you.RUNNING WOESWith RB Doug Martin sidelined for the second straight week, Tampa Bay averaged just 2.8 yards (72 yards, 26 attempts) rushing. Overall, the Bucs were outgained 307-215. Theres no magic solution, Bucs tackle Demar Dotson said. The only thing thats going to solve this is hard work and attention to detail, and more guys getting concentrated on their individual job.ANOTHER LOST SEASON?Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans, who had five receptions for 59 yards, feels there is still plenty of time to turn around Tampa Bays latest poor start. The Bucs have not made the playoffs since 2007. There is a lot of football left, he said. Were just trying to get back on track with a win against Carolina (next) Monday night.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
