The right-hander was 6-5 with a 3.50 ERA in 12 games (11 starts) for Altoona.

Also, the Curve have announced the additions of RHP's Ron Chiavacci and Franklin Perez.

He will be the Curve's starting pitcher for Monday night's game against the Reading Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Perez, who was released by the St. Louis Cardinals' organization in mid-May, was signed by the Pirates as a minor league free agent and assigned to the Altoona roster. The 28-year old Dominican native was 0-4 with one save and a 5.82 ERA in 17 relief appearances with the Cardinals' Triple-A affiliate in Memphis.
