After missing much of the season with injuries, posting only 12 starts, Jones was left off the Mets' postseason roster.

Selected to start the fourth and potentially clinching game of the National League Division Series against the San Francisco Giants, Jones delivered the finest outing of his career.

It also set a Mets' record for fewest hits allowed in a post-season complete game, besting Jon Matlack's two-hitter in the 1973 NLCS, and was the fewest hits allowed in a League Division Series complete game until Roy Halladay's no-hitter in the 2010 National League Division Series.

Jones went on to make starts in both the NLCS against the St. Louis Cardinals and in the World Series against the New York Yankees.
