The Pirates dropped their home opener to the Baltimore Orioles, 5-2. Oneil Cruz and Jared Triolo hit home runs for the home team, and Jared Jones struck out seven in six innings pitched (two runs allowed) in his first ever start at PNC Park.

Game two will be at 4:05 pm ET, with Bailey Falter set to face off against Tyler Wells.
