Adam Jones' web gem gives Orioles, Mike Wright a boost

Orioles right-hander Mike Wright had the perfect view of Adam Jones' game-saving throw from center field in the sixth inning of the Orioles' 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night at Camden Yards.

Wright was backing up home plate after Melky Cabrera's liner to center when Jones caught it and rifled a throw home that one-hopped into catcher Matt Wieters' mitt in time to beat Jimmy Rollins to the plate. The inning-ending double play preserved a one-run lead.

The young pitcher, who doesn't hide his emotion on the mound, pumped his fist in the air and ran over to Jones as he trotted off the field to give him a high-five.
