After the game, Jones spoke to Meredith Marakovits of YES Network.
Marakovits: “Spencer, you absolutely crushed the baseball there in the sixth inning, three-run shot. Take me through your approach against Rogers in that spot.”
Jones: “Rogers, left on left, looking at the scouting report, kind of knew he was going to throw some breaking balls to try to just see something close to me and put a good swing on it.”
Marakovits: “You mentioned the left on left, you had another home run against the lefty. Your .435 average and OPS are the best in baseball against lefties, minimum 50 at-bats. What do you think has kept you so at ease against left-handed pitching?”
Jones: “I don’t know. I mean, I try to not think too deep about it. I feel like I got a good approach, I got a good idea of where I’m trying to be in the batter’s box, and a good sense of the zone. So it’s just about making sure you’re swinging at the right pitches.”
Marakovits: “Hey, still a lot of baseball left to be played, not only in the regular season, but hopefully the postseason. But just how pleased have you been with your year so far?”
Jones: “This year has been awesome. There’s ups and downs throughout it, and I think it’s been nice to be able to stick through a couple tough ones and then be able to show up the next day, be in the lineup and get an opportunity.. Great showing up to the ballpark every day.”
