SAN FRANCISCO — Edwin Jackson became the first player in major league history to play for 14 teams when he made his Toronto Blue Jays debut.
The 35-year-old right-hander threw an 88 mph cutter that San Francisco leadoff hitter Joe Panik took for a called strike leading off the bottom of the first inning on Wednesday.
Toronto acquired Jackson from the Oakland Athletics on Saturday for $30,000.
Jackson had been tied with Octavio Dotel for most teams played. He agreed last month to a minor league contract with the A’s and was 1-0 with a 6.
