    Starling Marte insisted he wasn't nervous before his major league debut Thursday night.

    When Pittsburgh's prized prospect sent the first pitch he saw into the seats for a home run, it was evident that he was perfectly comfortable in his new role.

    Marte's leadoff homer helped the Pirates jump out to an early lead and they held on for a 5-3 win over the Houston Astros.
