Pirates Roll On With Historic Rookie Power | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pirates are on fire, extending their winning streak to four straight with a dominant 7-1 victory over Cleveland in the first game of a doubleheader. Jared Jones, recovering from injury, delivered a masterclass: five innings, nine strikeouts, just one run allowed. Rookie sensation Esmerlyn Valdez kept the momentum alive, tying the franchise’s rookie home run record with his 11th blast in just 100 at-bats. With smoke delaying the game earlier this week, the team’s resilience and offensive firepower shone through. The second game tonight against Cleveland could see new call-ups on the mound — and the Pirates are hungry to keep this streak alive.
