		| Jones at His Best, Blanks Pittsburgh (WIN) |  
		| Cory Jones had the Pittsburgh (WIN) Pirates dancing to his tune today with a sparkling 4-0 shutout performance for the Washington (WIN) Nationals. He gave up 3 hits, issued no walks and had 16 strikeouts. 
 Pittsburgh (WIN) hitters were bewildered throughout the game by his delivery.
 
 "When you face a guy who hides the ball like he does, it takes a couple of at-bats to try to find his release point," opposing manager Edgar Dena said. "We just never figured him out."
