In an impressive Major League Baseball debut, Pittsburgh Pirates' pitcher Jared Jones showcased remarkable skill, leading his team to a 9-3 victory over the Miami Marlins. Jones, who struck out 10 batters over 5.2 innings, allowed only three hits, three earned runs, and two walks. His performance included a significant number of swings-and-misses by Marlins' batters, with 22 whiffs recorded, and a pitch count of 89-62. This debut places Jones among the few Pirates pitchers with 10 or more strikeouts in their MLB debut, joining the ranks of Dick Hall, Nick Maddox, and Tim Wakefield. The Pirates' overall performance was strong, with the team now holding a 3-0 season record. In another notable debut, Paul Skenes, in his AAA debut, achieved five strikeouts and maintained an average fastball speed of 110.1 mph.
