Walk-off hit is just what Jackson needed

SEATTLE -- Austin Jackson hadn't seen much of Orioles reliever T.J. McFarland before Tuesday night, but when he did, he wasn't successful.

The Mariners' outfielder had struck out in his only career at-bat against McFarland, in 2013. So with the bases loaded and nobody out in the 10th inning and the score tied, 5-5, he didn't give McFarland a chance at another strikeout.

Instead, Jackson squared up the first pitch he saw, a 93-mph fastball with movement, shooting the ball just inside the right-field line to score Logan Morrison for a 6-5, walk-off win.
