That single was a Heliot Ramos roller that Jackson barehanded and then threw into right field. Ramos took second, hesitated for some odd reason and then finally ran to third in what turned out to be a genius play, since the Rangers botched that throw, too, allowing Ramos to score. So, Jackson’s pitching wasn’t really a problem today, or at least wasn’t given the chance to become one. He fell to 0-3, but since the run was unearned, his ERA is unchanged.

While one of those runs was caused in part by poor defense from Leodys Taveras, it’s fair to say that Jackson didn’t pitch very well in this contest. He threw 11-of-21 pitches for strikes, and didn’t fool the Sacramento hitters whatsoever. It’s just the first blown save of the season for Jackson, but the Rangers won’t stay too patient with the 33-year-old if he doesn’t pitch well in the coming weeks.
