Jared Jones showcased remarkable skill against the Nationals, retiring 13 of the last 16 batters, and striking out nine, indicating his potential as Pittsburgh's long-term star.
Manager Dave Martinez acknowledged Jones's improved pitch location, stating, 'When you throw like that, and you work ahead and you've got a breaking ball... it makes him pretty effective.'
Patrick Corbin reiterated the challenge of a rough start, saying, 'No one ever wants a game to start like that... good to get through six innings there.'
Jared Jones's ability to mix pitches effectively, particularly with his slider, made him nearly unhittable, as evidenced by García's reaction to strike three.
