Game 54: Record 29-25

Jackson simply sensational again.

Edwin was just masterful, unbelievable, dominant. Running out of adjectives. Best of all, he was able to pitch a complete game and get a 2-1 win to snap a 4 game loosing streak. Not giving the ball to the bullpen was HUGE and that happened because he controlled his pitch count - got some quick innings and only required 109 pitches for 9 full innings. Plus, he struck out the side in the ninth!!! Remarkable.

For those with short memories, we traded Matt Joyce for this guy. Joyce has been back and forth between AAA and the Rays. So far...this has been a steal.

Rick Porcello tries to get a huge series win on Sunday.
