Jackson Jobe's final line:
2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 29 pitches, 16 strikes

"It felt great, definitely missed it. I felt a little rusty but kind of part of it getting back in the swing of things but body felt good, arms feels good, leg feels good so can't complain too much," Jobe said after his outing. "I haven't faced hitters in six or seven weeks so I just wanted to go out there and try and compete and see where I am at."
