Jackson finishes strong

Jackson heads back out for a fourth inning. This will be his longest outing of the spring.

His control has been terrific. No walks in eight innings.

Jackson bounced back well from that horrible second inning. He allowed a hit in the third and little else.

The Rays bats are quiet. They went 1-2-3 in their half of the third.

The wind appears to have died down and the stands are almost full. The berms are packed.

This has turned out to be a pretty good day to see a baseball game.

The concision lines are packed, though, so I might have to wait a few more innings for my daily pretzel.

Jackson sets the Reds down in order to finish strong.
