Detroit — Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire was asked if it felt odd writing 35-year-old Edwin Jackson’s name on the lineup card.
“With the year that we’ve had? It’s not strange,” Gardenhire said. “It’s normal. That we actually have six starting pitchers on the lineup card, that’s amazing.”
So it goes in Tigerville 2019.
Jackson, who has pitched for 14 big league teams in 17 seasons and was released by two teams already this season (Oakland and Toronto), returned to the mound wearing the Olde English D for the first time since he was an All-Star here in 2009.
