DETROIT, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Edwin Jackson shut out Baltimore through eight innings for the second time this season Wednesday, and Detroit held on in the ninth to beat the Orioles 4-2.
Jackson, who had worked eight innings against Baltimore in a 3-0 win May 31, took a shutout into the ninth Wednesday. He then hit Nolan Reimold with a pitch leading off the final inning, and Adam Jones homered to left for Baltimore's fourth hit of the game.
Fernando Rodney replaced Jackson and put two runners on base before striking out Gregg Zaun to end the game. Rodney picked up his 22nd save.
Jackson ((8-5) won for the first time since July 10, though he had not allowed more than three runs in any of his three starts since.
Magglio Ordonez gave Detroit the lead with a solo homer in the fifth. Placido Polanco contributed a two-run single during a three-run eighth.
Jeremy Guthrie (7-11) took the loss, giving up three runs on six hits in 7 1/3. The Orioles lost for the fifth time in six games.
