What happened: Jared Jones worked seven scoreless innings and allowed one hit. He struck out nine without issuing a walk.
Why it matters: A 9-to-0 strikeout-to-walk line pairs swing-and-miss with command. A one-hit, scoreless turn also limits bullpen workload behind him.
By the numbers: 7.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K
What to watch: Watch where Jones slots next in the rotation and whether the command repeats.
