Jackson homered in the top of the sixth inning off reliever Chad Green. He also singled and walked, bringing his spring training batting average up to .326 with two home runs.

Colton Cowser and Tyler Nevin also went yard for the O's. Heston Kjerstad contributed three of the Orioles' 17 base hits.

Pitcher Cole Irvin allowed four runs in 3.2 innings.

The Orioles (19-5) play the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.

Their season opens at Camden Yards against the Los Angeles Angels on March 28.
