Edwin Jackson allowed four runs over five innings in Wednesday's NLDS Game 3 loss to the Cardinals.
Jackson looked shaky from the start and wasn't able to settle in against the Cardinals' dangerous attack. And the Washington bullpen didn't fare much better after E-Jax was pulled. After capturing Game 1 in St. Louis, the Nats are suddenly down 2-1 in the five-game set.

Edwin Jackson was impressive in a no-decision against the Brewers on Friday, allowing just one run on six hits over his eight frames.
Jackson piled up six strikeouts without issuing a walk in the game. The only mark against him on the night was a solo homer from Jonathan Lucroy in the second inning. He left the game with a 2-1 lead after eight innings, and stood primed to earn his 10th victory, but Tyler Clippard was unable to protect the lead. Jackson will head into Wednesday's start against the Phillies in Philadelphia with a 9-10 record, 3.77 ERA and 162/53 K/BB ratio.

Edwin Jackson had mixed results in a no-decision against the Braves on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits over 5 1/3 innings.
He also racked up seven strikeouts in the game while issuing one walk. He had a 4-2 lead heading into the sixth inning, where Martin Prado reached on a throwing error to lead off the inning, but video replays clearly showed that he should've been called out. The Braves made the mistake count, as Jason Heyward followed with a two-run blast to tie the game. He'll take a 9-10 record and 3.89 ERA into Friday's match-up against the Brewers at home.

MLB.com's Bil Ladson reports Edwin Jackson is seeking a muti-year extension from the Nationals.
Jackson reportedly turned down a three-year, $30 million offer from the Pirates last offseason, but his long-term standing with the Nationals remains to be seen. "Anything more than a year," Jackson said. "If the team feels they want to keep me, we'll go from there. It's up to ownership."

Edwin Jackson turned in another terrific performance in Thursday's victory over the Brewers, scattering eight hits over seven shutout innings while walking one and striking out four.

Jackson gave up just five hits and a pair of walks while matching his season-high with nine strikeouts. His only mistake was a solo homer by Brian McCann in the top of the second inning.

Edwin Jackson was torched for eight runs in three-plus innings by the Rockies on Thursday.
Jackson has been one of the game's most consistent starters this season, but he didn't have it today. He gave up five runs before getting his second out of the game, and while he did manage to hang around for a bit afterwards, he wasn't exactly sharp at any point. His ERA jumped from 2.91 to 3.57.
