Edwin Jackson has been nails so far for the Tigers. Picking up his 5th win of the season already, Jackson has done nothin but impress in Detroit so far this season.
Even more impressive is Jackson’s 2.30 ERA, 57 k’s to only 18 walks. Did I mention I’m lovin this rotation??
Jackson (5-3) retired the first 11 hitters he faced before Nick Markakis shot an opposite-field single to left in the fourth, and the Orioles didn’t get another hit until Ty Wigginton led off the eighth with a ground-rule double to right-center. The only other baserunner Jackson allowed was a one-out, sixth-inning walk to Robert Andino, who was caught stealing by catcher Gerald Laird. Jackson matched a season high with seven strikeouts, finished May with a 4-2 record and notched his eighth quality start in 11 tries.
Now the Tigers get an off day before starting a home stand that begins Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox.
Now it’s time to take a breath, grab a cold beer and get ready for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup…..Whooo what a day!!
