Jones Shines, But Marlins Fall Short
The Pittsburgh Pirates weathered an outstanding game by Miami first baseman Sam Jones to topple the Marlins, 7-5. Jones slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Reliever Frank Lopez picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Dominic Leone, who finished 5th in the AL in saves with 33 in 2021, took the loss. Joe Kaiser was called on to finish, recording his 1st save.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Juan Reyes? The Pittsburgh left fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pirates on top, 6-5. For the game, Reyes had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Reyes said.

Miami falls to 1-1.
