Pittsburgh — You wonder how this conversion, this transformation in a man’s batting style, could have happened in so few months.

JaCoby Jones last season played in 56 games for Detroit, struck out 65 times in 141 at-bats, and had an on-base average he wishes he could expunge: .240.

On Tuesday afternoon, he arrived at PNC Park, along with a steady stream of rain drops that eventually postponed the game between the Tigers and Pirates.
