Jared Jones Struggles in Loss to Brewers | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Pirates’ hot streak hit a wall after the All-Star break, plummeting with a brutal 7-11 record and slipping down the wild card standings. Their latest loss to the Brewers came in a 4-2 defeat where offense vanished — four key hitters went 0-for-16 with seven strikeouts — and pitcher Jared Jones struggled mightily, lasting just four innings while surrendering three earned runs and eight hits. Once a rising star with a stellar 2.0 ERA over his last five starts, Jones now faces mounting pressure as velocity dipped and Milwaukee’s bats exploded with homers from Chourio and Vaughn. With Paul Skenes also faltering, Jones is stepping into a bigger role — and he’s determined to bounce back before the season’s final stretch.
