Signing with the St. Louis Cardinals, he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates along with outfielder Andy Van Slyke and catcher Mike LaValliere for catcher Tony Pena on April 1, 1987 before he could pitch in a big league game for the Redbirds. He made his major league debut on June 5 1987, starting against the New York Mets against Dwight Gooden in his first start of the season after missing the first two months while in drug rehab. He had a fine rookie season with the Pirates, going 13-6 with a 3.03 ERA and giving just 143 hits in 164 innings. Those solid numbers led to him finishing second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting.

Injuries then hampered much of the rest of his career and he was dealt to Seattle Mariners and later pitched for both San Diego Padres and the Chicago White Sox. His last big league game was in 1992 for the White Sox.

His big league career covered five years and he finished with a 25-30 record and a 4.08 ERA. He pitched in 85 games, 76 of them as a starter, gave 471 hits in 474 innings, fanned 205 and walked 225.
