Jones recorded eight strikeouts vs. PHI
Jared Jones recorded eight strikeouts and allowed three runs over 6 1/3 innings on Thursday in a loss to the Phillies. Jones authored yet another brilliant performance, limiting Philadelphia’s strong lineup to just a fourth-inning solo homer by Alec Bohm until he coughed up a two-run shot to Brandon Marsh in the seventh inning. He generated 15 swinging strikes and finishing with a 33 percent CSW.
The 22-year-old top pitching prospect has induced a surreal 58 swinging strikes in his first three career starts. He’ll carry a strong 4.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 25/2 K/BB ratio across 18 innings (three starts) into a road tilt on Tuesday against the Mets. Simply put, he’s the real deal.
Lindor collects two hits vs. PIT
Francisco Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk on Monday in the Mets’ 6-3 win over the Pirates. Lindor continues to slowly snap out of an early-season spiral at the plate with his second straight multi-hit performance and has notched at least one hit in six of his last eight contests since April 7. It’s going to take awhile for the 30-year-old superstar shortstop’s surface stats to rebound, but it’s a relief for fantasy managers that he’s starting to show signs of life at the dish again after a tough two-week stretch at the outset of the year.
