The Rockies, oh so desperately needed someone to make a big splash.
Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Cal Quantrill delivers during the first inning of a baseball game against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Pittsburgh, Friday, May 3, 2024. Two players delivered Friday night — one of them literally — in the Rockies’ 3-2 win over the Pirates at PNC Park.
Quantrill pitched 7 2/3 innings, giving up just three hits, all singles. His split-finger change-up confounded the Pirates, and he struck out nine and walked none. Seven of his strikeouts came via his split-finger. He also got seven groundball outs; of his 99 pitches, 66 were thrown for strikes. Colorado Rockies’ Ryan McMahon, right, is greeted by Elias Díaz as he heads to the dugout after hitting a solo home run off Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Martín Pérez during the sixth inning of a baseball game in Pittsburgh, Friday, May 3, 2024.
Jones, just 22, has never faced the Rockies. He’s coming off a tough, 3-2 loss at San Francisco. He gave up three runs over five innings. He enters Saturday’s game tied with the Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto with the most strikeouts among all major league rookies. He’s had seven or more strikeouts in his first five career games and has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his first six big-league starts.Rockies LHP Austin Gomber at RHP Jared Jones , 2:20 p.m.
