Jones, who tied Rafael Palmeiro with Sunday's home run, hit No. 125 on the first pitch, scoring J.J. Hardy and Seth Smith with the left-center-field homer.
"I've said a few times, after the season or after my career is over, I'll probably get a good perspective on the accomplishments that I've had during my career, but I just go every day, one day at a time," Jones said. "I know it's so cliché, but that's really what I do. I just try and win for that day, and let today be for today and tomorrow be for tomorrow."
The 31-year-old Jones sent his eighth homer an estimated 381 feet with an exit velocity of 105 mph, according to Statcast™. He also has 21 RBIs.
Jones entered Monday's game ranked second in the Majors with a .435 batting average with runners in scoring position and is on his way to having a career year in walks.
