GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Fresh off of his first taste of the Major Leagues, JaCoby Jones is playing like a big leaguer in this year's Arizona Fall League.
The Tigers' No. 9 prospect came out of the gate swinging on Saturday afternoon as he connected on a first-inning home run to help power Salt River in a 9-4 win over Glendale at Camelback Ranch.
With one run already in for Salt River and two runners still on base, Jones, who batted fourth and started in center field, belted a 3-2 offering from Glendale starter Chris Anderson (Dodgers) over the wall in left-center field to give the Rafters an early 4-0 lead.
