Pittsburgh Pirates rookie pitcher Jared Jones is off to a dazzling start. The 22-year-old right-hander struck out 10 batters over seven near-perfect innings in a 1-0 victory over Colorado. Jones now has 52 strikeouts against just five walks across his first seven starts in the majors.

Only Shelton didn’t. Instead, Jones walked back to the mound for the seventh for the first time in his major league career.Gausman tosses 5 1/3 scoreless innings, Kiermaier homers and Blue Jays beat Nationals 6-3“Obviously, I’ve had a short leash before, and that was to protect me,” Jones said. “Having him let me go out for the seventh, yeah, it pumped me up.
Maybe, but not at this level. And not this consistently. And not with so many eyes on him. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound Jones has drawn comparisons to Atlanta ace Spencer Strider, though Jones is trying not to get ahead of himself.And what opponents might see in the very near future is a Pittsburgh rotation anchored by Jones and 21-year-old Paul Skenes, the top overall pick in the 2023 draft who has a 0.39 ERA at Triple-A Indianapolis and looks every bit as major-league ready as Jones.
