Episode Details

Jared Jones just delivered a career-defining start, tossing six perfect innings and eight strikeouts on just 77 pitches against the Braves — his longest outing since returning from over a year and a half of elbow surgery. Despite the dazzling performance, the Pirates are being cautious, capping him at five innings and 80 pitches — though they made an exception this time. Manager Don Kelly emphasized long-term health over short-term glory, stressing that Jones’s role is to stay in the rotation and deliver throughout the season. Jones dominated with his fastball and slider, especially the nasty slider that accounted for five of his strikeouts. With solid recent performances and improving stats, Jones is proving he’s ready to be a key piece — even if he can’t quite finish a perfect game, his impact could be huge for the Pirates’ season.
