ANALYSIS/OPINION When the Washington Nationals added right-hander Edwin Jackson to their corps of starters two weeks ago, his $11 million deal made him the highest-paid pitcher on the staff for 2012. But baseball's new Collective Bargaining Agreement could make his contract more advantageous to the Nationals than it originally appeared. ...
Jackson turned in a gem Friday night, allowing one run on five hits, while walking one and striking out eight over eight innings, but was left with a no-decision as the Nationals lost to Baltimore 2-1 in 11 innings.
