Edwin Jackson deals seven shutout innings for the Padres

San Diego Padres pitcher Edwin Jackson spun seven shutout innings, striking out seven with only two hits allowed as the Padres topped the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-0.

What It Means:

It was the first time in his last six starts that Jackson gave up fewer than two earned runs

Jackson has been having a rough year, with a 5.22 SIERA that is the second-highest of his career, and an ugly 14.84 percent strikeout rate.
