37 Edwin Jackson SP

Jackson (5-3) tossed six innings and got the win Sunday, allowing just one run on three hits and two walks while striking out two batters in the 8-2 win over the Mariners.

After allowing an RBI single to Nelson Cruz in the first inning, Jackson settled in and cruised through the rest of his afternoon. The 34-year-old journeyman continues to be a welcomed surprise in Oakland's starting rotation with a 2.91 ERA in 74.1 innings so far in 2018. He'll face the Rangers at home on Saturday.

Jackson's next start was bumped from Monday to Tuesday at Houston, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Manager Bob Melvin wants to give his starting rotation an additional day of rest, so everyone will be bumped back a day as Chris Bassitt will be called up to start Sunday. Jackson gave up two runs and five hits over five innings in his last start against the Astros.

Jackson (4-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Rangers, allowing four runs on seven hits (including two homers) in just 4.1 innings, striking out two while walking three.

Jackson allowed a run in four of the five innings in which he appeared, including solo shots to Shin-Soo Choo in the first and Joey Gallo in the fourth. He was knocked out with one out in the fifth following an Adrian Beltre RBI single. The poor start seems to be just a blip in a surprisingly effective season for the veteran, as he'd allowed just two runs over his last four starts combined. His ERA still sits a just 2.97. He'll face a tough opponent in his next start, travelling to Houston on Monday.

Jackson (3-2) allowed just one unearned run on five hits over 6.1 innings in a win over the Tigers on Saturday. He struck out three and issued one walk.

The 34-year-old has not allowed an earned run over his last two starts (12 innings). He's teased us with strong stretches here and there in recent years before imploding, and the peripherals suggest that what he's doing now is mostly fluky (6.7 K/9, 4.01 FIP, 4.57 SIERA). Chase these results at your own risk. Jackson lines up to face the Angels in Los Angeles in his next start.

Jackson (2-2) tossed 5.2 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out five as he notched the victory against the Blue Jays.

Jackson narrowly missed securing a quality start, as he was lifted with 101 pitches after recording two outs in the sixth. He managed to produce an excellent outing, despite a shaky start his last time out: he surrendered five runs on seven hits and two walks across 4.1 innings against Texas. Jackson owns a solid 3.32 ERA and 1.08 WHIP with 32 punchouts through 40.2 frames in 2018.
