Austin Jackson went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Athletics.

Jackson got things going in the third with an RBI double and also singled in a run to kick off the decisive four-run seventh inning. Omar Infante also had two hits for the Tigers, while sluggers Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder were pretty quiet. It hardly mattered, though, as the night was all about Justin Verlander.

Austin Jackson doubled and roped a solo home run in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

Jackson took Jeremy Guthrie deep in the fourth. The home run was his 16th of the season, giving him a new career best by six. Jackson is hitting .304/.383/.489 with 54 extra-base hits after batting just .249/.317/.374 in 2011. The Curtis Granderson/Jackson trade has proven quite beneficial for both sides.

Austin Jackson was scratched from the Tigers' lineup Sunday due to a left ankle injury.

Jackson hurt the ankle during Saturday's game when he crashed into the outfield wall. He should be considered day-to-day. Quintin Berry will move over to center field, with Andy Dirks entering the game in left field.

Austin Jackson went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the White Sox.

Both the multi-hit and multi-RBI efforts were Jackson's second straight. Batting an impressive .309/.391/.491 with just 20 games to go, Jackson will be an interesting case in fantasy drafts next spring.

Austin Jackson got the Tigers offense started with a bang on Sunday, smashing a leadoff homer in the Tigers 4-0 victory over the Orioles.

Jackson finished the day 1-for-3 plus a pair of walks. He's quietly having a tremendous breakout season, hitting .323 with 10 homers, 39 RBI and seven stolen bases. He's already matched his career best 10 homers from a season ago, and has drastically slashed his strikeout rate while increasing his walk total. Still just 25-years-old, Jackson will be an extremely popular name on next year's draft boards.
