Nats pile on Cardinals to back Jackson's gem

JustinVerlander35 · Aug 30, 2012

Last fall, right-hander Edwin Jackson played a key role in helping the Cardinals win the World Series. Almost a year later, Jackson pitched eight innings of four-hit ball as a member of the Nationals to beat his former team, 8-1, on Thursday night.

Jackson was dominant early on, striking out seven batters in the first three innings, and he finished with 10 strikeouts. St. Louis was only able to get runners in scoring position twice in the game, and that occurred in the fifth and eighth.

In the fifth, the Cardinals had a runner on second with two outs when Skip Shumaker singled to put runners on first and third. But Rafael Furcal popped up to shortstop Ian Desmond to end the threat.
