Pirates sweep Sox behind Jones’ no-hit bid; perfect start to road trip
The Pirates’ crucial road trip to Chicago couldn’t have gotten off to a better start.
The Pittsburgh Pirates secured a 2-0 victory over the Chicago White Sox, sweeping their road trip, in a thrilling game at Guaranteed Rate Field. Jared Jones delivered a perfect start, pitching a no-hitter until the seventh inning. Offensively, Oneil Cruz played a pivotal role, hitting a home run in the fifth inning and an RBI single in the eighth, propelling the Pirates to an 18th home run of the season, driven 433 feet.
However, Colson Montgomery broke the Pirates' no-hit bid by hitting a high double into the right field fence. Despite this, Jones remained on the mound and induced Braden Montgomery to fly out to left field, preserving the Pirates' 1-0 advantage. This dominant performance marked a triumphant start to the Pirates' road trip.
