AROUND THE HORN

MLB: Edwin Jackson says 14 teams will be it. The well-traveled pitcher, who spent 17 seasons in the majors, announced his retirement on Instagram on Friday — his 39th birthday and the 19th anniversary of his big league debut. Jackson played for a record 14 clubs, most recently in 2019 with Toronto and Detroit. “Today I am happily hanging up my cleats,” he said in his social media post. “I’m super grateful to have had 14 different organizations allow me the opportunity to represent them.” Jackson went 107-133 with a 4.78 ERA in 412 games with the Dodgers, Rays, Tigers, Diamondbacks, White Sox, Cardinals, Nationals, Cubs, Braves, Marlins, Padres, Orioles, Athletics and BLue Jays When he was with the Diamondbacks, he tossed a no-hitter at Tampa Bay in 2010. The right-hander walked eight batters and threw a whopping 149 pitches in that game. Jackson was an All-Star with the Tigers in 2009 and pitched for the World Series champion Cardinals in 2011. He became the first player in major league history to play for 14 teams when he made his Blue Jays debut and pitched five innings without a decision in a 4-3 loss to the Giants on May 15, 2019. Jackson had been tied with right-hander Octavio Dotel (1999-2013) for most teams at 13.

Yankees: Leadoff man Aaron Judge singled twice during a six-run first inning off Corey Kluber as the Yankees started with seven straight hits for the first time since 1990 and routed the Rays 10-3 Saturday Josh Donaldson homered early and Giancarlo Stanton connected late off a lob pitch as both players returned to the lineup and helped the

AL East-leading Yankees move to 4 games ahead of the Rays. The Yankees also clinched the season headto-head tiebreaker over the Rays should the teams finish even atop the division Judge, leading the majors with 55 home runs, hit three singles in raising his average to .307. He is the first Yankees player to reach base at least three times in seven straight games since Mickey Mantle in June 1957 Judge also is the seventh Yankee to reach base at least three times in at least seven straight games. Besides Mantle, Babe Ruth did it in 1920, Lou Gehrig achieved it twice in 1936 and 1937, Tommy Henrich did it in 1938 and Joe DiMaggio along with Frank Crosetti achieved the feat in 1939

Tigers: Victor Reyes drove in three runs, and the Tigers beat the Royals 8-4 in a rain-shortened game on Saturday. Javier Báez and Harold Castro each had two hits and two RBIs as Detroit earned its third straight win. Matt Manning (2-2) pitched 6 innings of three-hit ball. The Tigers went ahead to stay with three runs in the third against Jonathan Heasley (3-8). Reyes snapped a 1-1 tie with an RBI triple. Báez doubled in Reyes and then scored on Castro’s single. Reyes added a two-run single during Detroit’s fourrun fifth, helping the Tigers build an 8-2 lead.

Red Sox: Rafael Devers hit a first-inning grand slam, Kiké Hernández had four hits and the Red Sox slugged their way to a 17-4 rout of the Orioles on Saturday. Jordan Lyles (10-10) couldn’t make it out of the fourth in his first start this month, and the Orioles lost for the fifth time in seven games. The Orioles entered four games behind the Mariners for the final wild card in the AL.
