The Pirates salvaged a win yesterday to cap their three-game series against the Royals. Greg Brown has the story.
Manager Derek Shelton appreciated the effort of starter Jared Jones, who didn’t have his best stuff.
Jones says he battled through a tough outing.
The Pirates open a 4-game series tonight in St. Louis. Paul Skenes [10-2, 2.10 ERA] starts for the Pirates against the Cardinals’ Andre Pallante [6-8, 4.13 ERA]. 7:20 airtime, 7:45 first pitch on WCCS.
On Roberto Clemente Day, the Pirates got a Clemente-like throw from rookie right fielder Billy Cook, who gunned down the Royals’ Tommy Pham at home plate in the third inning. The Pirates held a special ceremony with the Clemente family before the game.
