Spring training Gameday: Exciting pitching matchup on Sunday at LECOM
Jared Jones vs Jackson Jobe
The Pittsburgh Pirates got a go-ahead home run from 18-year-old Konnor Griffin in the ninth inning, eventually winning 5-2 against the Baltimore Orioles.
The Pirates' five runs were from home runs—Oneil Cruz, Nick Solak, Griffin, and Enmanuel Valdez.
Paul Skenes pitched three innings, allowing one run on four hits and a walk while striking out four. He flashed a couple of his new pitches, including the cutter that tied up a left-handed hitter.
Now 6-2 on the spring, the Pirates will look for another win with Jared Jones on the mound. He will be facing one of the top pitching prospects in all of baseball, Jackson Jobe.
First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 pm ET. The game will have an available stream to watch, either on SportsNet Pittsburgh or MLBTV.

Jackson Jobe hung that pitch a little more than I originally thought but still impressive nonetheless for Davis to get down to that and hit it out the park. No-doubter.
After a rough start, it ended up being a good outing for Jared Jones.
Hung a couple of change ups but like the commitment to throwing it and the curve.
A four pitch (plus the sinker) Jared Jones could be super scary
