The veteran allowed four hits, two walks and one run while striking out six to improve to 2-1 since joining the active roster earlier this month. "I knew today after a tough first game where the bullpen came in and picked up a lot of slack that it was imperative that I go out and eat innings and come out aggressive from the start and pick the bullpen up because we definitely needed it," Jackson said. "It was one of those days where as a starter -- I mean you want to go deep into games anyway, but it was a do-or-die kind of start to go out and eat up innings and save the bullpen."

He did not allow a hit in his first 12 1/3 innings over three starts with Syracuse, the top farm team of the Nationals. Could he end up in the Washington bullpen?

He was with Triple-A Norfolk in the Baltimore system earlier in the year.

Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said he hopes Jackson will clear waivers and return to Triple-A Norfolk. Showalter also added he would not be surprised if Jackson signs with another team, and depending on which team it is, it would be Jackson's 13th team since making his major league debut in Sept. 2003 with the Los Angeles Dodgers. "It's tough with him, pretty whirlwind, that's the way it is. He gets on a plane, he gets here, and he's pitching," Showalter said. "He's better than that. It's just he never got his feet on the ground."
