Timothy Byron Jones (born January 24,1954) is a former pitcher in Major League Baseball.
Tim Jones reached the major leagues in September 1977. His first two appearances were in relief in games the Pirates were losing badly,and his third was as the starter in the first game of a doubleheader on the final day of the season. He won that game,pitching 7 shutout innings,and in all pitched 10 major league innings without being scored on. He was traded in March 1978 to the Montreal Expos for Will McEnaney and never appeared in another major league game,his lifetime record unmarred,1 win,0 losses,0.00 ERA. Jones is the only player in MLB history to have pitched at least 10 innings and not allow a single run. [1]
In baseball,a no-hitter or no-hit game is a game in which a team does not record a hit through conventional methods. Major League Baseball (MLB) officially defines a no-hitter as a completed game in which a team that batted in at least nine complete innings recorded no hits. A pitcher who prevents the opposing team from achieving a hit is thereby said to have "thrown a no-hitter". In most cases,no-hitters are recorded by a single pitcher who throws a complete game;one thrown by two or more pitchers is a combined no-hitter.
