PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jared Jones pitched six strong innings, Jake Mangum had an RBI double in the second inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the skidding Los Angeles Angels 1-0 on Friday night.

The MLB-worst Angels (53-88) lost for the 10th time in 11 games. The Pirates have won five of six games.

Jones (3-6) blanked the Angels on three hits to win for the first time in eight starts since beating Cleveland on July 18. He struck out nine, walked one, and threw 63 of 91 pitches for strikes.

Wilber Dotel pitched two innings, and Mason Montgomery worked the ninth to complete the four-hitter and the Pirates’ ninth shutout of the season. Montgomery had his ninth save.

Ryan Johnson (3-8) was the hard-luck loser, giving up one run and four hits over six innings with six strikeouts and two walks. He has a 1.67 ERA in his last six starts and allowed zero or one run in five of those outings.

Prized rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin returned from the injured list for the Pirates and made an immediate impact when he scored the lone run from first base on Mangum’s one-out double to right field in the second inning.

Griffin had been sidelined since July 6 after undergoing surgery to repair a torn tendon in his left ring finger. The Pirates signed the 20-year-old to a nine-year, $140-million contract, the richest in franchise history, in April.

The Angels hit back-to-back singles to open the top of the second, but Jones got Christian Moore to foul out, then struck out Jose Siri and Adam Frazier. The Halos have been shut out 12 times.

Up next

Angels LHP Yusei Kikuchi (0-5, 5.65 ERA) faces RHP Braxton Ashcraft (14-5, 3.59) on Saturday night in the middle game of the series.

Aliquippa plays out this world against Mars Planets

Story by Keith Walsh – Beaver County Radio. Published September 5, 2026
(Aliquippa, Pa) The Quips came out in all black with white numbers, while the Mars Planets came out in all white and green with  yellow stripes and black numbers.
Mars won toss but elected to kick. Cameron Cannon took kick off out 35. The planets held and the Quips punted before Mars turned it over on downs. The Quips started on their own 35 after both teams gave the ball back to each other. Mars first play stuffed the quips ball carrier with a big hit, the next play Aliquippa goes to the air and it’s picked off and returned for a Mars touchdown by Brady Brennan, which made the score Mars 6 Aliquippa 0.
In the 2nd, the quips drive stalled and they were forced to punt. Mars started at their 5 and tried a jet sweep resulting in a fumble that Aliquippa picked up. The next play the Quips Power I smashed it into the endzone. 14-6 quips.
On the kickoff Mars returned it to the 25 then the pass was batted down by Gilbert into the air and picked off by Mylez Green. Then number 56 rumbled into the end zone. 21 6 quip.
Mars gets the ball and moves it down the field with a nice run and pass down to the quips 10 yard line. Mars runs the ball and fumbles, Colin Yurisinec picks it up and runs into the end zone extra point good score 28- 13.
Next the quips Akiva Woods takes the kickoff without barley getting touched 99 yards to make it 28-13. The 3rd quarter was all Aliquippa with a powerful running game eating up the clock. The end of 3rd quarter Aliquippa 35 Mars 13.
In the 4th, Walker found Liam Corcoran wide open for a nice throw catch and run for a TD. The Quips also hooked up Hansone Lynn to Jeffery Hicks for a long throw and catch over the middle and a great run across field out running the Mars defense into the end zone.
Final score 42-27.

Interstate 79 Shoulder Restrictions Next Week in Allegheny County

(File Photo of Road Work Ahead Sign)

Noah Haswell, Beaver County Radio News

(Allegheny County, PA) PennDOT District 11 announced that shoulder restrictions on I-79 in Robinson and Kennedy townships in Allegheny County will occur next Tuesday through Friday, September 8th-11th, weather permitting.

From 9 A.M. to 3 P.M. each day, shoulder restrictions will occur in both directions of I-79 between the I-376 Airport/Pittsburgh (Exit 59 A/B) interchange and just north of the Route 60 Moon Run/Crafton (Exit 60 A/B) interchange. 

These restrictions will happen for the accommodation of crews conducting preparatory work and the installation of traffic control devices in advance of upcoming overnight and weekend patching operations, which are anticipated to occur in mid-to-late September. 

Pirates rookie shortshop Konnor Griffin eligible to return from the 60-day injured list

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Konnor Griffin is ready to get back to work.

The Pittsburgh Pirates rookie shortstop said Thursday that he feels good and is hopeful of being activated off the 60-day injured list on Friday when Pittsburgh opens a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels.

The 20-year-old Griffin hasn’t played since early July due to an issue with the knuckle on the ring finger of his left hand. Griffin wore a splint for about six weeks and has played a handful of games while on a rehab assignment.

“It’s been driving me nuts watching the games on my phone,” said Griffin, who signed a massive contract extension in April shortly after making his debut. “It’ll be fun to finally be back in there competing.”

The Pirates have fallen off the pace in the National League playoff race in Griffin’s absence. Pittsburgh entered Thursday’s game against San Francisco 5 1/2 games back of the final wild card spot.

Pittsburgh remains intent on having Griffin return this season. The team says the risk of re-injury is small and it’s important to get him more experience during the nascent stage of his career.

“He’s a huge piece of the offense, defense, base-running, everything that goes on,” Pirates manager Don Kelly said after a 5-2 win over San Francisco on Thursday. “Anytime we can get him back, certainly not expecting him to pick up maybe exactly where he left off, just want Konnor to go out there, have fun, play baseball and do what he does to help us win.”

Griffin has been electric at times. He’s hitting .276 with five homers, 25 RBIs and 20 stolen bases in 59 games during a season that’s been disrupted by multiple trips to the injured list.

“It’s just cool to see how my body has been able to overcome these injuries,” he said. “I feel like it’s a good sign for me. I’m pumped to be back here.”

Perhaps most importantly, Griffin is pain-free.

“I did some grip strength testing,” he said. “Those numbers were actually a lot higher than they should have been, which was a good sign for me. That gave me a lot of confidence, squeezing a bat, squeezing a glove wasn’t gonna be an issue.”

Skywalk at Kinzua Bridge State Park in the Pennsylvania Wilds Reopens for Fall Foliage Viewing

Noah Haswell, Beaver County Radio News

(Mount Jewett, PA) The Skywalk at Kinzua Bridge State Park, one of Pennsylvania’s iconic fall destinations in the Pennsylvania Wilds, reopened for fall foliage viewing this week.

This gave visitors a chance to experience breathtaking views of the Kinzua Valley at the peak leaf-peeping season.

The Skywalk at Kinzua Bridge State Park offers visitors a unique opportunity to see stunning views of the Kinzua Valley by walking out and peering down on a viaduct which was reimagined as a skywalk after being partially toppled by a tornado.

The Skywalk of this destination is now open, and the Kinzua Creek Trail will reopen tomorrow.

Both of these areas will remain open through October 31st, 2026.

Both areas will close again after that date so that contractors can resume work on the structure.

Rehabilitation work on that structure is scheduled to be completed in time for fall foliage viewing in 2027.

One-of-a-kind outdoor music venue opens near the Beaver County line

SCOTT TADY

FREDERICKTOWN, OHIO — The Beat Box, a  backyard live-music venue featuring a stage built from a converted shipping container, has opened a few miles from the Beaver County line.

Situated off Ohio Route 170, north of East Liverpool, The Beat Box hosts a variety of live music, with an emphasis on singer-songwriters. The atmosphere is casual and intimate, with the feel of a backyard listening room.

The centerpiece of the venue is a shipping container — like you’d see on a large cargo ship — converted into a functional performance stage.

The Beat Box, a new music venue near East Liverpool, Ohio.

Beat Box owner Brian Peese phoned into the Beaver County Radio Morning Show on Friday to discuss the venue. Hear that interview here:

The next concert there is Sunday, Sept. 6, featuring Grammy Award-winning songwriter Aaron Raitiere, a Grand Ole Opry alum.

“If you were with us for our very first show, you know just how special this night will be,” the Beat Box website says.” Aaron helped us launch this stage… and now he’s coming home. From writing hits for some of the biggest names in music to delivering one of the most genuine, raw live performances you’ll ever experience — this is storytelling at its finest.”

Opening the night is Adam Stasik, a Pittsburgh area singer.

Other shows are Amos Evans and the Joyful Noise Celebration on Sept. 20, and Southern soul-rocker Ben Chapman on Oct. 3.

Food trucks are at some shows, though concertgoers also can bring their own snacks and drinks.

The Beat Box sells tickets on its website, thebeatbox43920.com, which also lists the venue’s goal: “To bring talented songwriters to the East Liverpool area and create a memorable experience for both the artists and the people attending.”

Pennsylvania Correctional Industries Opens New Optical Lab at SCI Chester

Noah Haswell, Beaver County Radio News

(Chester, PA) The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC)hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony in Chester yesterday for a new optical laboratory at the State Correctional Institution at Chester (SCI Chester).

The Pennsylvania Correctional Industries (PCI) optical lab is providing additional opportunities for incarcerated individuals to gain hands-on vocational training, develop their skills, and prepare for employment after release.

This optical lab at SCI Chester was opened in late August and is staffed by a crew of 10 incarcerated workers, with plans to increase to 16, who each graduated from a training course to earn their optician certificate.

The men were hired after interviewing with the lab foreman upon certification.

This new optical lab will serve as a finishing facility for glasses started at SCI Cambridge Springs.

The optical lab at SCI Chester will support the local Lions Club because the lab will process donated eyeglasses before they are distributed to people in need.
