Detroit Tigers offense continues to struggle, but Austin Jackson keeps rolling.
from Mlive

Jackson worked in spring training to reduce his leg kick, and that work paid off.
Jackson struck out 181 times last season while drawing 56 walks. If he sticks to his current pace and plays the same number of games this season, he would finish with 125 strikeouts and 83 walks.

Detroit Tigers' Justin Verlander doesn't expect thumb issue to keep him from next start.
