Detorit -- Edwin Jackson threw seven shutout innings in his Chicago debut Wednesday, carrying the White Sox to a 4-1 decision over Detroit.

Jackson (7-10) joined his fourth team in less than three full seasons when the White Sox obtained him last week in a trade with Arizona. He threw a no-hitter for the Diamondbacks in June.

Jackson gave up nine hits and allowed two base runners in each of the first three innings, but held down the Tigers until the eighth. He walked Miguel Cabrera leading off the eighth before being relieved by J.J. Putz.

Cabrera eventually scored Detroit's only run on a single by Brandon Inge.

Bobby Jenks worked a perfect ninth for his 23rd save.

St. Petersburg, Fla. -- Edwin Jackson threw the second no-hit game in franchise history Friday, carrying Arizona to a 1-0 inter-league victory over Tampa Bay.

Jackson (5-6) allowed eight walks, three of them in one inning, but he managed to hold the Rays without a hit while throwing 149 pitches.

The only other no-hitter for the Diamondbacks was a perfect game thrown by Randy Johnson against Atlanta on May 18, 2004.

A call by the official scorer preserved the no-hit bid in the eighth. A grounder to second by Carlos Pena in the eighth was booted by Stephen Drew and it was ruled an error.

Cleveland, Sept. 22: Edwin Jackson pitched seven shutout innings Tuesday to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 3-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians.

Jackson (13-7) allowed seven hits and three walks for the Tigers, who moved three games ahead of Minnesota in the AL Central. Ryan Raburn homered and Magglio Ordonez finished 3-for-3 in the victory.

Asdrubal Cabrera scored the only run for Cleveland, which has lost nine consecutive games and 13 of its last 14.

Aaron Laffey (7-7) suffered the loss despite allowing only one run on seven hits and three walks in 6 2/3 innings.

Detroit, Aug. 5: Edwin Jackson shut out Baltimore through eight innings for the second time this season Wednesday, and Detroit held on in the ninth to beat the Orioles 4-2.

Jackson, who had worked eight innings against Baltimore in a 3-0 win May 31, took a shutout into the ninth Wednesday. He then hit Nolan Reimold with a pitch leading off the final inning, and Adam Jones homered to left for Baltimore's fourth hit of the game.

Fernando Rodney replaced Jackson and put two runners on base before striking out Gregg Zaun to end the game. Rodney picked up his 22nd save.

Jackson ((8-5) won for the first time since July 10, though he had not allowed more than three runs in any of his three starts since.

St. Louis, June 17: Ryan Franklin finished off a solid effort by the St. Louis bullpen Wednesday that allowed the Cardinals to edge Detroit 4-3.

Franklin was the last of four St. Louis relievers, who combined to give up a run on three hits over 3 2/3 innings. He picked up his 16th save and preserved the inter-league win for Todd Wellemeyer (6-6).

Wellemeyer lasted 5 1/3 innings while giving up six hits -- two of them solo homers by Curtis Granderson.

Colby Rasmus twice gave St. Louis the lead with a run-scoring single in the third and an RBI triple in the fifth.

Ryan Ludwick drew a bases-loaded walk in the seventh, giving St. Louis an insurance run that turned out to be the game-winner.
