CLEVELAND There is no team Edwin Jackson enjoys facing more than the one he will face Saturday afternoon at Progressive Field. The 34-year-old right-hander will be on the mound for the Oakland As Laken Tomlinson Jersey , facing a Cleveland Indians team Jackson has beaten 10 times in a row.
Its been more than 10 years since Jackson lost to Cleveland. The last time, and the only time, he lost to the Indians was on Aug. 17, 2007, when Jackson was pitching for Tampa Bay.
Since then, Jackson is 10-0 against the Indians. In 16 career appearances against Cleveland, Jackson is 10-1 with a 2.76 ERA. His 10 wins against the Indians match his most victories against any opponent. He has also beaten Pittsburgh 10 times.
Jacksons 10-game winning streak against Cleveland is the longest by any pitcher against the Indians since Charlie Hough won 13 in a row from June 30, 1984, to April 4, 1988.
If all that wasnt impressive enough Laremy Tunsil Jersey , Jacksons record in eight career appearances at Progressive Field is 5-0 with a 1.90 ERA.
The As signed Jackson to a minor league contract in early June, and called him up to the majors on June 23. He is 1-0 with a 2.13 ERA overall this season after making two starts for Oakland.
Based on the way he was available and the way hes been able to pitch for us its a surprise, but hes always been able to do that a little bit with the sinker and the four-seamer, As manager Bob Melvin said, according to USA Today.
Now he just manipulates a little bit more and the off-speed stuff with the changeup speed and the slider. It really keeps you off-balance.
Jacksons last start was against the Indians, and it resulted in a 7-2 victory in Oakland on June 30. He pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on two hits, with six strikeouts.
The Indians will start ace Corey Kluber on Saturday. Kluber (12-4, 2.64 ERA) started the season very strong, but has had a couple of tough outings over his last four starts. In his first 14 starts Daniel Kilgore Jersey , Kluber was 10-2 with a 1.99 ERA. However, in his last four starts he is 2-2, with a 5.95 ERA.
Klubers last start was a 9-3 win over Kansas City on Monday, a game in which Kluber pitched six innings, giving up three runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and no walks.
In two starts against the As last year Kluber was 1-0 with a 2.03 ERA. In eight career appearances, including seven starts, against Oakland he is 2-4 with a 2.66 ERA.
The Indians won the first game of the series 10-4 Friday night. In the last two meetings between the two teams Cleveland has outscored Oakland 25-7.
The Indians on Friday designated for assignment reliever George Kontos to clear a roster spot for pitcher Carlos Carrasco, who was activated off the disabled list and started Fridays game.
The Indians will be adding another player in the not too distant future. The team has signed outfielder Melky Cabrera to a minor league contract as an eventual replacement for outfielder Lonnie Chisenhall, who was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday with a left calf strain.
Its a significant strain. Hes going to miss considerable time, said Indians manager Terry Francona.
Cabrera played 17 games with the Indians earlier this season Willie Brown Jersey , hitting .207. He was designated for assignment on June 14. He had three hits Thursday in his first game at Triple-A Columbus.
Three hits in his first game is pretty phenomenal, Francona said. We want to let him get his legs under him, but when he signed he knew he wasnt going to stay (at Columbus) forever. So at some point well have to make a decision (on how to add Cabrera to the major league roster).
Upon the completion of Mary Joe Whites investigation into former Panthers owner Jerry Richardsons workplace misconduct toward women and minorities, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell referred to her careful and thorough examination of these issues.
But Friday, the publication whose investigation triggered the sale of the team portrayed an investigation process that was far from thorough.
The look at NFL investigations by Jon Wertheim and Viv Bernstein of Sports Illustrated paints a picture of a league that appears more interested in a quick result than a complete vetting.
According to SI, not only did Richardson not make himself available to White, nor did the league promise to protect any of the recipients of settlements from Richardson, all of whom signed non-disclosure agreements.
While the team said they provided contact information for every employee to White, and made clear that there would be no retaliation for participating in the investigation, it appears few took them up on the offer.
The burden was on [women] to come forward Rodney Hudson Jersey , said one male employee who has been with the team for more than 10 years. Shouldnt an investigator actually investigate?
One of the former employees who received a settlement said: I have spoken with other people who were in the same situation I was in, and none spoke to the league or were contacted.
The league did not want to stand up and say, Well protect you; we just want to get to the truth.' one former female employee said. So that makes you think, Are you really trying to get to the bottom of this? Or are you just doing this for show?
One of Richardsons accusers described the investigation as bogus in an April follow-up by SI.
Since the sale, chief operating officer Tina Becker (Richardsons long-time right hand) resigned, and legal counsel Richard Thigpen (who authorized and oversaw the NDAs) was fired.
The league fined Richardson $2.75 million at the end of the investigation. Richardson sold his team to David Tepper for $2.275 billion.
