The winner in relief was Akinori Otsuka. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 5-1. The American Giants now have a record of 50-64 with the win over Memphis.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Jackson delivered big-time for Chicago, stroking a dramatic 2-run home run off Jonathan Papelbon. The game-changing hit put the American Giants on top, 8-6.

"Our team showed some spunk," said Jackson.
