  "account": "Jared Jones dominated the Los Angeles Angels in a 1-0 victory for the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. The starting pitcher recorded six strong innings, allowing only three hits while striking out nine and walking just one. Jake Mangum contributed to the win with an RBI double in the second inning, marking his first postseason start with the Pirates. Wilber Dotel pitched two solid innings, and Mason Montgomery secured the shutout with a perfect ninth inning, earning his ninth save of the season. The Angels, currently 53-88, suffered their 10th loss in 11 games, while the Pirates have won five of their last six contests. Rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin, who returned from the injured list after recovering from a torn tendon surgery, scored the decisive run for the Pirates.",
