MILWAUKEE -- Tom Gorzelanny, a 14-game winner last season who has struggled mightily this season, today was optioned to Class AAA Indianapolis by the Pirates.

Gorzelanny, who pitched just 4 2/3 innings in his start here yesterday, left Miller Park without talking to reporters.

The left-hander is 6-7 with a 6.57 earned run average this season.

The Pirates did not immediately announce a corresponding roster move.
