Pirates Shut Out Angels 1-0 Behind Jared Jones in Konnor Griffin's Return

Konnor Griffin is back, and it didn't take long for him to remind everyone what the Pirates have been missing.

Griffin's speed created the only run of the night as the Pirates beat the Angels 1-0, while Jared Jones delivered one of his best outings of the season. Jones tossed six scoreless innings, generated 19 whiffs on his slider and handed things off to Wilber Dotel and Mason Montgomery to finish the shutout.

Jim and Tyler break down Griffin's immediate impact, Jones' dominant slider, the surprising decision to use Dotel for six outs, Montgomery's continued emergence at the back end of the bullpen and where the Pirates stand after improving to 70-72.
