Jared Jones Breaks Streak with Strong Start | Pittsburgh Pirates News

Jared Jones shattered his personal five-game losing streak and ended the Pirates’ winless run in his starts with a dominant six-inning shutout, striking out nine and relying heavily on his elite slider—21 swings and misses, 19 of them on that pitch. Throwing a season-high 91 pitches, manager Don Kelly pushed past the usual limit, trusting Jones’ resurgence after elbow surgery. With the Pirates still clinging to playoff hopes—four and a half games back—this win was crucial. Jones, now 17 starts post-surgery, called it a sign of things to come, and the team’s momentum feels alive again.
