Pittsburgh lost to the White Sox yesterday, but the real story was the return of John Van Benschoten, the Bucs 2001 first-round draft pick. According to the Associated Press, Van Benschoten "had reconstructive surgery on both shoulders before the 2005 season and questioned if he would ever reach the majors again." Well, yesterday was the kid's first start in three years, and he wound up allowing only two runs on three hits with three walks in 5 1/3 innings. Here's hoping the kid can complete his recovery by winning a few games this season!
