CHARLES REX ARBOGAST/ASSOCIATED PRESS


White Sox left fielder Juan Pierre snares a fly ball hit by the Orioles’ Corey Patterson in foul territory during the third inning in Chicago.


Jackson, White Sox shut down Orioles, 8-0


BY JEFF ZREBIEC


chicago — The contrast couldn’t have been any more glar- ing from the very first inning at U.S. Cellular Field. Chicago White Sox starter Ed-


win Jackson threw 12 of his first 13 pitches for strikes and fanned five of the first seven hitters that he faced.


Baltimore Orioles starter Jake


Arrieta missed the strike zone with eight of his first 13 pitches, walked three batters in the first inning and needed 35 pitches to get the first three outs. Things never got much better


for Arrieta, whose night was over after four rocky innings, or for the Orioles, who dropped another series with an 8-0 loss to the White Sox in front of an an- nounced 23,898. Jackson allowed three hits


over eight shutout innings, strik- ing out at least 10 batters in back-to-back outings for the first time in his career. He’s now 2-0 with an 0.96 ERA in four starts for the White Sox since they acquired him from Arizona be- fore the deadline. The Orioles,whowere shut out for the 10th time this season, are


winless in four straight series and have dropped eight of their last 13 games to fall to 45-83 on the season.They’ll start a three-game series with the Los Angeles An- gels tonight in Anaheim, Calif. Trying to stay within striking


distance of the Minnesota Twins in the American League Central, the White Sox, in taking two of three from the Orioles, broke a five-series losing streak that started when they lost three of four in Baltimore this month. Arrieta prettymuchdrained all


the momentum gained from fel- low rookie Brian Matusz’s seven- inning and one-run gem on Wednesday from the visiting dug- out in the first inning. He did allow only one run and


escape a bases-loaded jam, but only after missing the strike zone with 19 of his 35 pitches. Overall, he needed 85 pitches


to get just 12 outs. It tied Arrieta’s second shortest start of the sea- son, and it marked the fifth time in 15 starts where the rookie right-hander couldn’t at least get through five innings. Arrieta has dropped three


straight decisions and is 4-6 on the season.
