Jackson retired the final two batters Sunday against the Padres to pick up the save.
One night after A.J. Minter blew a save chance, Jackson managed to record the final two outs in a one-run ballgame to preserve Sunday's victory; Minter recorded the first out of the frame. The 27-year-old has been stellar out of the bullpen this season for Atlanta, with his lone hiccup coming in his first outing of the season against the Phillies, when he surrendered four runs over one inning of work. Since then, Jackson has turned in 12 straight scoreless appearances and might creep into some of these closing chances, especially if Minter continues to struggle or be reserved for matchups with lefty batters.
