And Billy Cook is with the Pirates today. The Pirates acquired Billy Cook from the Baltimore Orioles before the deadline in a minor league deal. You got some young guys that perhaps can come up and be part of your future. So September is a chance to get him in that lineup and let them prove themselves. Jarrett Jones getting the ball for the Bucks today. See if the Pirates can earn a series split. Last game of this lengthy four game series. CJ. Abrams is in Jerry Jones is ready. Abrams a high fly ball to deep right center. This ball is crushed. This ball is out of here, leadoff homer for CJ number 19 this season and one batter in. It's one nothing, 105 off the bat just right there. What a sweet swing. Get the foot down and let it eat. Hm. Yeah. Yeah. Here is James Wood, a left handed batter up to the right side. Gonzalez has to hurry and he does a homer and a ground out. A little pop up. There's Billy Cook over. Oh, Billy Cook. What a play first opportunity in the big leagues. And Billy Cook just made a tremendous catch over by the netting. Welcome to Pittsburgh, Billy Cook. That's how we play here. Oh, you might be seeing highlights of this one. Billy Cook just goes flying into the net and snags it right before it hits the net and the pitch from Jones swing and a miss dispatching him with a low curveball. And the first strikeout of the afternoon for Mr Jones, Patrick Corbin start number 29 for the left hander Franny three straight victories. Isaiah kind of for a will lead off for the Pirates and first pitch. The first pitch that he wanted to take a whack at Isaiah kiner Fa singles on the 01 offering to left Reynolds hitting a 278 with 22 home runs out to center but playable for Jacob Young and there's one out bottom one here is Joey Bart that is hammered to left field toward the wall and Joey Bart for the line drive two run homer. It's 13 and the Pirates take the lead 2 to 1 and it is down but it's in, it's on the bottom part of the plate and Joey Bart all over it. Bowser blast for Bart puts the Pirates in the lead two outs for Nick Gonzalez. There's a line drive to the left center gap wood over quickly. That's a two out single. Ryan de La Cruz to the line in left field that's going to get down. That's extra bases and Rubella will hold Gonzalez hit third on the double by De La Cruz and it brings Billy Cook to the plate for his first major league at bat. Julie and Chuck Cook. Mom and dad made their way in from Colorado line drive left fielder and with a two run double major league debut, he gives the Pirates a 41 lead. Put it right on the chalk line. What do they say, joe? You, you make a great defensive play. You almost always come up the following half inning and get yourself a big hit. Mom and dad, mom almost missed it. She was turning around talking to somebody on the road trip. Cape batting 471 and he lines this ball toward the line and right hit hard off the top of the Clemente wall for a double, Jose Tenors one off the glove of Kiner-Falefa over at third. The Nats trying to answer right back here. Top two, the Ruiz double the jose tennis single and they're at the corners with nobody else. An RBI opportunity for Dylan Cruz in the air right side coming in as De La Cruz calls off the second baseman, Ruiz goes back to the third base bag and there's one down inning falls to Jacob Young. Go back his last 16 batting 3, 33 6 extra base hits line drive right field and he gets a run in. 10 will go first to third Ruiz in to score and Jacob Young delivers a two out runners in scoring position. Knock gets his first knock here. Beautiful swing. That's how it's done. Get the ball. This is something that we've been playing in the backyard ever since. He was two years old with my dad and he is, it's, it's amazing. We're just grateful to be here for all everything that's led up to this moment. And thanks for taking time to ask me that it was really special, but not surprising. He's always amazed us ever since he was a little kid and, uh, he's just a tremendous athlete and I'm glad he's finally getting a chance to show what he can. So we're excited for more action from Billy Cook in the Pittsburgh Pirates, Mccutchen Gonzalez and de La Cruz for the Pirates in the home half of the third and two homers shy of 20 in his age 37 season. Here's a 22 pitch swinging a fly ball to deep left field. Got in this one. He's one cut in number 19 for Kusch 52 Pacos, uh looked like a fastball in the inner half. Joe Kusche lifted a Moonshot to left field and nick Gonzalez gonna try and beat out that hit and he does. There's a line drive hit, putting runners at 1st and 2nd, three straight Pirates hits to begin the third. They've banged out a already off Corbyn and now Billy Cook. So I'm gonna miss Patrick Corbin gets Billy Cook on strikes for the first out in the third two outs. I think the Pirates might try and steal a run. We've seen them do this this year and now they do pick off Taylor and Gonzalez is not breaking and now he does and now he'll be thrown out. I guess they weren't afraid of the r leadoff. Two base hit for Alika Williams to begin the forth kind. FFA oh, hit off of Corbin right to the first baseman Gallo. Well, Ikf does the job to move the runner to third set up Reynolds for an R B I runner breaks for the plate throw to the plate and Aliko Williams gets in there. Reynolds the RBB. That's 80 RBIs lead six two. We go to the sixth inning Pirates enjoying a 6 to 2 lead. Jared Jones has sent down 10 nationals in a row. Here's the 22 swing and a miss struck him out and see fan five today on a 12 pitch swing and a miss on a ball that bounced curveball and strikes out strike three called. He strikes out the side in order seven for Jones, Michael A Taylor will lead it off for the Pirates here in the bottom of the 6th 62. The Pirates have the lead high fly ball deep left center field to the notch and Michael A Taylor clears the deck cannonball coming number five for Taylor 72. Brings back the hook and makes it 14 straight set down eight strikeouts on the day and that's four in a row. He struck him out with a slider looking 96 straight set down by Jared Jones seven complete innings for the third time in his major league career. He makes his 19th start here this afternoon. Coming out to work for the Bucks. Here comes Carmen Magin Magy. He's had two save opportunities this year. He's two and five with a 36 and 30 games. Las one to left center. That'll get all the way to the wall. James Wood will come all the way around from first to score. And another extra base hit from Andres Chaparro and over toward right, approaching the wall and a nice play. David Cruz had a couple of extra strides before he got to the wall, but a nice play into the shadows for the second out one more out and this could do it, Billy Cook appropriate making his major league debut. He handles the last out and the Pirates raise the jolly Roger. The concluding game of the four game series. They win the season series over the NATS split the four gamer here.
