Jackson Tames Tigers To Win Debut With White Sox
Edwin Jackson had several reasons to be anxious about Wednesday night's start.
It was his Chicago White Sox debut. It came in a pennant race. And it was against the team that traded him away last winter.
None of that bothered him.
Jackson allowed one run in seven-plus innings as the White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 4-1.
"I'm not worried about pitching against my old team, and I'm not worried about trying to impress anyone with my new team," he said. "The people that run this team know I can pitch or they wouldn't have traded me for me. I have one job -- win games in the pennant race -- and that's what I did tonight."
