PITTSBURGH—Rookie Jared Jones pitched six shutout innings, and Jack Suwinski homered after being called up from the minor leagues as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 1–0 on Tuesday night, June 4.

Jones (4–5) allowed three hits to the National League West-leading Dodgers while striking out six and walking three. That strong performance came after the 22-year-old right-hander was touched for seven runs in 4 1/3 innings in his previous start, Wednesday at Detroit.
