Did Andre Jackson tip his pitches? Dodgers reliever gives up four homers in loss
LA TimesSeiya Suzuki, center, hits a solo home run off Dodgers reliever Andre Jackson in the eighth inning of the Cubs’ 8-2 win Friday at Dodger Stadium. Ian Happ, left, heads to first after hitting a solo home run for the Cubs off Dodgers reliever Andre Jackson in the eighth inning Friday. “That’s the decision I made,” Roberts said of his choice of Jackson, “and obviously, it didn’t work out.” Jackson, in his third big league season, said he has dealt with tipping pitches before, but he wasn’t sure that was why he struggled. “But I definitely left a lot of pitches in the middle of the plate, so I’m not sure what it is yet.” Cubs left-hander Justin Steele gave up two runs and three hits in seven innings, striking out eight and walking one, to improve to 2-0 with a 1.42 ERA in three starts.
