Jones, Cruz Power the Pirates to a 2-0 Win over the White Sox
Jared Jones struck out 8 and allowed one hit as Pittsburgh finished a three-game sweep and Chicago managed just 2 hits.
- On Thursday, the Pittsburgh Pirates completed a three-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox with a 2-0 victory. Jared Jones pitched seven innings of one-hit ball, and Oneil Cruz hit a solo home run.
- Jones carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning until Colson Montgomery broke it with a double. The Pirates sought their seventh no-hitter, last accomplished by John Candelaria in 1976 or Francisco Cordova and Ricardo Rincon in 1997.
- Cruz homered to deep center in the fourth off Erick Fedde and singled in the eighth to knock in Jared Triolo. Pittsburgh limited the White Sox to just two hits throughout the contest.
- Luke Weaver worked a clean eighth inning and Mason Montgomery recorded his 12th save to finish the game. The Pirates have won nine of their last 11 games, while the White Sox have lost eight of their last 11 contests.
- Chicago's American League Central lead over idle Cleveland slipped to 1 1/2 games following the loss. Pittsburgh has not named a starter for their Friday afternoon game against the Cubs.
