  "account": "Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - September 22, 2026 - The Pittsburgh Pirates are concluding their regular season with a game against the Detroit Tigers in their 162nd match of the season. Pitching for the Pirates is Jared Jones, who has started 20 games this season. Jones has returned to form after being sidelined for the entire 2025 season due to an injury. His earned run average (ERA) is better than it was in his first season of 2024, and the Pirates see potential in him for the 2027 rotation. In his most recent start on September 22, Jones pitched seven scoreless innings, yielding only one hit and striking out nine, leading the Pirates to a 2-0 win against the St. Louis Cardinals at PNC Park. Jones is eager to cap off his season with a strong start.\n\nFor the Tigers, River Ryan (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will take the mound. Ryan, who spent the past couple of years in the Los Angeles Dodgers' minor league system, was traded for Tarek Skubel in early August. He made his debut with the Tigers on September 21 and pitched three innings, striking out three against the Washington Nationals. Ryan will have one more chance to pitch before the Tigers enter the offseason. The game will take place at Comerica Park in Detroit, Michigan, and will be broadcast on KDKA AM/FM and Sportsnet Pittsburgh.",
