Pirates’ Jared Jones shares frustrations after dreadful outing vs Mets
Jared Jones is in a brutal slump after putting up another dreadful start, this time in an 11-1 loss for the Pirates vs. the Mets.
Pittsburgh Pirates starter Jared Jones expressed his dissatisfaction following a disastrous performance against the New York Mets in the most recent game. The Pirates are grappling with a significant gap in the NL Wild Card standings, and Jones' inability to perform effectively on the mound only exacerbates their predicament. During the 11-1 loss, Jones was only able to pitch three innings, surrendering eight earned runs, six hits, and three walks while only recording three strikeouts.
This poor outing follows two prior starts where he allowed three runs, further underscoring the need for a mental reset and a return to form. Jones candidly admitted that he struggled to control at-bats and that the ball just seemed to "get away from me," emphasizing the need for a mental reset to improve his performance moving forward.
The Pirates currently trail by 5.5 games in their pursuit of the third NL Wild Card spot, with five teams currently ahead of them in the standings.
