The Pittsburgh Pirates defeat the Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on Friday, with Jared Jones pitching six strong innings and Jake Mangum driving in the game’s only run. Mangum records an RBI double in the second inning, giving Pittsburgh an early lead it does not relinquish.
Both outlets describe Jones as limiting the Angels throughout his start. Jones blanks Los Angeles on three hits over six innings to earn the Pirates’ win. The Pirates’ offense scores once, and the result marks a tight game in which the pitching performance largely determines the outcome.
In addition to the game’s score and key plays, the Yahoo Sports account adds that this is Jones’s first win in eight starts and notes that the Pirates are winning frequently, taking five of six games. The reports align on the central events—Jones’s scoreless run and Mangum’s RBI double—while providing limited additional differing detail.
