AL: TAMPA BAY (25-32) at TORONTO (28-30) <h3>Jackson tries to earn first win for Devil Rays</h3> Tampa Bay (25-32) at Toronto (28-30) 12:37 pm EDT TORONTO (Ticker) -- The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are in the midst ofa full-fledged youth movement both on the field and within thepitching staff. With the recent call-ups of J.P. Howell and Andy Sonnanstine,all five of the Devil Rays starters are 25 or under. A23-year-old, Edwin Jackson, takes his turn in the rotation onThursday when Tampa Bay visits the Toronto Blue Jays in therubber game of their three-game series. Jackson (0-7, 7.77 ERA) has been enduring some growing pains sofar this season. Even at just 23, Jackson is the veteran of thestaff, having made his big-league debut for the Los AngelesDodgers in 2003 at the age of 19. He pitched mostly out of the bullpen for the Devil Rays lastseason, struggling to a 5.45 ERA in 23 appearances. Now in hisfifth season, Jackson's time may be running out to prove himselfas a major leaguer. He allowed four runs in six innings butdid not factor in the decision against Toronto on May 12. Tampa Bay has clubbed 30 hits in the first two games of theseries. The Devil Rays had 13 in a 6-2 win on Thursday, withCarl Crawford finishing with two and four RBI. The Blue Jays' A.J. Burnett (5-5, 4.02) will be charged withstopping the surging Devil Rays' hitters. The 30-year-oldrighthander has lost each of his last two starts, but dominatedTampa Bay on May 11, holding them to one run and five hits in 61/3 innings to earn a win. Burnett will have to figure out a way to slow down Crawford, whohas seven RBI in the first two games of the series.
