He became the first Brazilian-born pitcher to start and win an MLB game.\n', '

Rienzo was raised with his two older brothers by his mother in São Paulo, Brazil. Following his parents\' divorce, Rienzo\'s mother decided that the best way to keep Rienzo and his brothers out of trouble was to follow the example of the large Japanese community in Brazil. Rienzo\'s mother played softball and her sons were among the few to play baseball in their area; in Brazil, both sports are niche sports primarily played by Japanese-Brazilians. A Cuban pitching coach and scout eventually helped Rienzo to develop his four-pitch arsenal.\n', '
