Top five

Garrett Jones likes the Dutch.
A non-roster invitee, Jones has knocked in three runs for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who lead the Netherlands 4-2 after four innings.
With the Pirates lineup sans stars - Ruben Gotay, who started in left field, is a minor-league camper, doesn't have a name on the back of his jersey - Jones is taking advantage of his playing time.
As is Andy Phillips, who doubled in a run, and Craig Monroe, who walked and doubled in his first two at-bats.
And as a write, shortsop Anderson Machado makes a wild, off-balance throw to first that skips past Phillips and plates a run. The Netherlands now trails 4-3.
