Jared Jones

It was a hard-fought duel, but Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jared Jones stood tall on the mound Tuesday night. The rookie right-hander stepped up to the task against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team he grew up rooting for, tossing six scoreless frames, punching out six batters, and retiring the last nine in a row for the 1-0 win. “Going out there, facing them for the first time, throwing up six zeros, and giving us a chance to win, that means everything,” he said.
