Pino signed with the Minnesota Twins before the 2014 season.[1] He made his major league debut on June 19, 2014. At 30 years, 175 days, Pino is the oldest Twins starting pitcher to make his major league debut.[2] Pino was optioned back to the AAA Rochester Red Wings on August 15, 2014, after making 10 starts and going 1-5 with a 5.37 ERA.[3] After the season, Pino was outrighted off the Twins roster.

Pino signed a major league deal with the Kansas City Royals on December 15, 2014.[4] On April 18, 2015, the same day he was called up from Triple-A,[5] he made his Royals debut, replacing starter Yordano Ventura after the latter was ejected in the fourth inning.[6] He was optioned back to the minors on May 12,[7] after he blew a hold opportunity on May 9 with a throwing error in the bottom of the ninth against the Detroit Tigers.[8] On September 7, Pino was designated for assignment.[9]
