Edwin Jackson was quality in Sunday's loss to the Yankees, allowing two runs on seven hits and three walks in six innings of work. Jackson struck out just one in falling to 3-4. His only real mistake of the afternoon came in the fifth, where he served up a solo home run to Curtis Granderson. Jackson has been more consistent than usual this season, turning in just four non-quality outings in 13 starts, and allowing more than three runs just twice. Through 86 1/3 frames, he's posted a 3.05 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. He'll get the Orioles in Baltimore next weekend.

Edwin Jackson had no trouble with the Blue Jays Monday, holding them to two runs on just three hits and three walks over eight innings in the 6-3 win. Jackson started the ninth despite already being over 100 pitches but left after allowing a leadoff double, which came around to score. The right-hander hasn't struck a ton of batters out this season, but he's been surprisingly efficient and boasts a 3.02 ERA and 1.00 WHIP over his first 12 starts. He'll have a tough matchup against the Yankees this weekend.

Edwin Jackson tossed five innings of three-run ball as part of a no-decision in Cincinnati Sunday. Jackson struck out four, walked none and gave up five hits. He was in line for his second win of the season, but Henry Rodriguez blew a save. It continues a theme of bad luck for Jackson this season, as the Nats have given him meager run support all year. He gets the Orioles next time out.

Edwin Jackson tossed 6 2/3 shutout innings Thursday against the Padres, but was handed a no-decision. Jackson scattered six hits while issuing three walks (one intentional) and striking out six. He was in line for the victory, but Tyler Clippard coughed up the lead in the bottom of the eighth. Still, there's a lot to like about Jackson in mixed leagues, as he owns a very healthy 3.16 ERA and 26/6 K/BB ratio across 25 2/3 innings this season. He'll get the Diamondbacks next week.

Edwin Jackson allowed five runs on seven hits in five innings of work against the Astros on Thursday. He struck out five and didn't walk a batter in the game. With one out in the first inning, the Astros strung together six consecutive hits to push across all five of their runs. Jackson settled in nicely after that, allowing only one hit the remainder of his night. He'll look to get back on track when he takes on the Padres in San Diego next week.

Edwin Jackson pitched brilliantly against the Reds on Saturday allowing just one run on two hits in a complete game victory. Jackson struck out nine and walked just one in the game. He's always shown glimpses of greatness, but has struggled throughout his career to find consistency. If he can continue to pitch this well, the Nationals have one of the best and deepest rotations in all of baseball. Jackson will look to carry that momentum as he takes on the Astros next time out.

Edwin Jackson was tagged for six runs in 4 2/3 innings by the Red Sox on Tuesday. Jackson finishes another down spring with a 6.51 ERA. He hasn't had a sub-5.00 ERA during March since 2009. We're still expecting good things from him this year, though he won't necessarily be an every week play in mixed leagues.
