NL East-Leading Braves Break up Pirates’ Combined Perfect-Game Bid in the 7th on Albies’ Single

  • On Wednesday, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Jared Jones threw six perfect innings against the East-leading Atlanta Braves in Pittsburgh.
  • The 24-year-old Jones returned to the mound May 20 following ulnar collateral ligament internal brace surgery performed May 21, 2025, which sidelined him for all of last season.
  • Jones threw 77 pitches, including 53 strikes, during the outing, while outfielder Bryan Reynolds saved the perfect game with a third-inning catch.
  • Mason Montgomery replaced Jones in the seventh, getting Michael Harris out before allowing a single to Ozzie Albies, ending the combined perfect game bid.
  • Perfect games remain historically rare, with only 24 occurring in major league history, while the Houston Astros provided the most recent of 327 no-hitters on May 25.
